The God of the Old Testament

Fellow Labourers-

Our subject today confronts all of us who live in this unfriendly world. It would seem that most of us would rather forget the God of the Old Testament in preference for the God of the New Testament. The argument we use to justify this is that the God of the New Testament is a God of grace. But, may I remind you that grace began in the garden of Eden. Throughout the Old Testament God's grace is evident.

We are not a people that like consequences. But I believe that a careful reading of the Old Testament is about the consequences of disobedience. The judgment/punishment was quick. Today it seems delayed but the consequences are still evident. The wages of sin is death in both Testaments.

Pax Vobiscum
