1 | Does God hate the devil? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 230055 | ||
Hello Huldah, I'd agree with brother Beja! While one of God's attributes is indeed love, he's not JUST love! As A.W. Pink notes, we must remember, "There are many today who talk about the love of God, who are total strangers to the God of love. The Divine love is commonly regarded as a species of amiable weakness, a sort of good-natured indulgence; it is reduced to a mere sickly sentiment, patterned after human emotion. Now the truth is that on this, as on everything else, our thoughts need to be formed and regulated by what is revealed thereon in Holy Scripture." Wrath is also one of God's attributes. Pink notes on this, "Now the wrath of God is as much a Divine perfection as is His faithfulness, power, or mercy. It must be so, for there is no blemish whatever, not the slightest defect in the character of God; yet there would be if "wrath" were absent from Him! The wrath of God is His eternal detestation of all unrighteousness. It is the displeasure and indignation of Divine equity against evil. It is the holiness of God stirred into activity against sin. That Divine wrath is one of the perfections of God is not only evident from the considerations presented above, but is also clearly established by the express declarations of His own Word. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven" (Rom. 1:18)." [A.W. Pink The Atributes of God] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
