The Gospel of Grace is like a Coin. It has two sides. The Love of God (The Obverse side) and The Wrath of God (The Reverse side). Many Christians either preach only the Obverse side or just the Reverse side. But the fullness of the Gospel always has these two sides present in it in totality.
The cross of Jesus Christ is the location where these two sides (Love and Wrath) met for the first time. God's Love for mankind was depicted through his Cup of wrath which was consumed entirely by Jesus Christ on the cross.Jesus did not just save us from our sins. He also saved us from God's wrath on mankind. If we understand this picture, our understanding of the Gospel message would change by a large extent.
The Gospel of Grace is just not a one sided Gospel as it is presented these days by many preachers. This Gospel can be consumed only by those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Those who have accepted him as their personal Savior will also follow Jesus whole heartedly.We have to Love our God with all our heart and we also have to love our neighbours with all our heart. At the same time we have to Hate Sin with a Passion and we have to warn and rebuke Sinning believers with a burden for the Gospel.We have to be living witnesses for Christ
Jesus Hates Sin and Loves a Repentant Sinner. But His wrath is stored for Unrepentant Sinners. Heaven is a wonderful place because God is there. Hell is a dangerous place, not because Satan is there, but because it is God's wrath in its fullness. Judgment day will be the second time when these two sides of Grace will meet again. Are you ready for that Day?
Taste Jesus and see that he is Good.
Shielded in God's Love
