People have a tendency to attribute all kinds of horrible, evil things to God. There’s a misconception that a fundamental requirement for God to be God is that He be in absolute control of everything which happens all the time. Therefore, they think God does bad things to people. But that's not who God is. James tells us that God provides every good gift and every perfect gift. He doesn't give us hurtful or destructive "gifts". Since God is unchanging by His very nature, He is indeed good all the time. All that bad junk in your life? That's not from God. It's the enemy trying to destroy your soul and poison your relationship with God. Resist the enemy's bad stuff. Submit to God's good stuff. Taste and see how good God is. There is blessing waiting for you when you trust in God's goodness! |
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you. — Psalms 86:5 (WEB) |
The fastest way to get me to turn someone off is for them to start preaching the wrath of God. That's not the God I know or have any desire to follow.
