Bobby Stafford God's Righteous Anger  

God’s Righteous Anger 

Introduction: 

     Both the Old and New Testaments tell us of God’s wrath, His divine anger, “flaring nostrils.”  This anger is based upon His justice and holiness.  (Deuteronomy 4:25-26)  One primary purpose of His anger is to get His people to turn from their evil ways and come back to Him.  (Deuteronomy 13:16-18)

     Scripture informs us that Jehovah is a consuming fire who will ultimately destroy all who are opposed to His holiness.  Because He is also a jealous God, He demands our complete commitment to Him.

 Body: 

I.   A Jealous God   (Exodus 34:14)

  • God demands exclusive loyalty to Himself and His covenant.  (Exodus 20:3-6)
  • God does not tolerate the worship of “other gods.”                (Deuteronomy 4:23-24, Psalms 78:58-59)
  • Spiritual adultery
  • Unfaithfulness leads to destruction.                                  (Deuteronomy 32:16-22, Joshua 24:19)

 II.   A Consuming Fire   (Psalms 97:1-5)

  • Echoed in the New Testament   (Hebrews 12:25-29)
  • Two aspects to consider:
    1. To purify us   (Titus 2:14, I Peter 1:22)
    2. To consume the wicked                                                        (II Thessalonians 1:6-9, Matthew 25:41)

 III.   The Fear of the Lord   (Matthew 10:26-28)

  • “Fear” – A mixture of terror and awe; fear and respect           (Psalms 33:8 Note verses 6,7,9)
  • Motives for fearing God and the coming judgment             (Revelation 14:7) and His holiness.  (Revelation 15:4)
  • When you truly fear the Lord, you will obey Him.            (Ecclesiastes 12:13, Deuteronomy5-13)

 Conclusion: 

Read Deuteronomy 10:12-13
