We know that God judged in the Old Testament and according to the book of Revelation he will judge again in the future, but is God still judging today? Are events like natural disasters and viral pandemics acts of God’s judgment? Keith Holloway joins Gary Wilkerson to discuss the judgment of God.
Key Points from the Podcast
• If we lowly esteem the judgment of God, then we do not know God in his fullness.
• We must use caution when declaring whether or not events and disasters are a result of God’s judgments.
• God being just and holy must judge unrighteousness, but his desire is for mercy and repentance.
• God has redemptive judgments that are meant as discipline to draw people back to himself and punitive judgments that are destruction for those with impenitent hearts.
• God's judgment is not always wrath.
