God is merciful.
Despite our sinfulness, God continues to work in our lives.
Illus: God could have looked at this group of people, and said, “you chose a false God over me, now you are stuck” just as he can look at us and say “you choose false gods over me every day”.
Frankly God would be fair to hand us over to our sin and take his hand off of us.
What kind of father would give up on his child after their first mistake.
What kind of father would give up on their child after their umpteenth mistake.
When God gave the order to make a new comand it showed 2 things: 1. that God did not abandon His people, and 2. That God did not lower his standard for His people.
That is how God works in our lives.
He is patient and does not abandon us all the while never lowering his standard.
God is slow to anger and abounds in faithful love.
Illus: Let’s keep using the parent illustration...
As a parent I should not fly off the hook the moment my kids mess up.
I may feel like blowing up, and may be tempted to jump all over my kids, but that has little benefit to them.
A temper tantrum on my part will vent my frustration, but it rarely benefits my kids.
That said, neither do I as a good father overlook the mistakes of my children.
When they need punishment, I punish them.
God says he is compassionate, forgiving, but also just in rightly bringing justice to the guilty.
God is compassionate.
He is patient with us in our sin allowing us time to repent, and turn from them.
That said, God does not turn a blind eye to our sin.
He does not lower our standard.
When we need punishment, he gives it.
If we do not repent, we will feel the full force of his justice.
Just because God forgives your sins does not mean that He lowers his standard.
God’s standard does not change, His forgiveness is not a license to sin.
Illus: There is a temptation to think that since God is a loving God, and since he forgives our sin, he does not take our sin as seriously.
We might say something like, “God loves me just the way I am”.
Or we might say, “The God of the NT is a God of love.”
Or even “Only God can judge me.”
Hear me friends, God takes your sin just as seriously today as he took sin in the Old Testament.
Also, Just because God loves you does not mean that he does not also hate the sin in your life.
Also, God loves you, but he does not love you just as you are… he loves you through the precious blood shed on the cross.
God loves you enough to free you from your sin, to poor his wrath on Jesus because of his hatred of sin, so there is no way that God will tolerate a complacent attitude for sin in your life.
God will punish the unrepentant.
Illus: God understands that we sin.
He does not take it lightly, but knows that men a re broken.
That is why he sent Jesus.
That said, the attitude which God does not tolerate is unrepentance.
When you willfully ignore, reject and turn a blind eye to your sin, God does not take that lightly.
When you love your sin so much that you reject what scripture says, and turn a deaf ear to God, you will face his punishment.
God’s patience is ready for you to repent.
What in your life have you ignored the voice of God on, rejected the clear teaching of scripture on and refused to obey?
Today repent.
Turn to him and find life and freedom.
God’s compassion and holiness leads us to worship.
Worship is more than just singing, it is a life lived in faith and repentance.
Illus: Today I callenge you to be a worshiper.
Go beyond just singing, or attending church.
Instead live a life of repentance and faith to God.
Listen to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and repent as he convicts.
Read the word to pursue God’s holiness.
Choose to live for Jesus.
