Do you suppose the expression 'it's raining cats and dogs' originated with the flood? For 120 years, Noah preached, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling! They laughed at Noah. Who'd ever heard of rain? It isn't all that different today. "The end is coming! The end is coming!" But, who, in this generation, has ever seen God's wrath? Besides, that's for the lost ... right? That isn't what God said (Ep. 5:6). The Bible wasn't written for the lost (I Co. 2:14). Look it up. God told us who He meant (II Ch. 7:14). In Co. 3:16, God makes another reference to the children of disobedience. Perhaps, He knew we wouldn't get it the first time. Not very many people survived the flood. They didn't get it either. Instead of researching every instance of sin to make sure we're covered, there's an easier solution. The opposite of disobedience is obedience. God counts faith as obedience and righteousness (Ro. 16:26; Ga. 3:6). And, do you even realize all the promises He's given to the righteous? You'd best wake up for this one! You could do a thousand 'do good' deed per day, obey the laws like a robot, and God wouldn't be impressed ...
... (Co. 2:20-21; Ro. 7:6) What God wants most is the relationship; walking with Him, talking with Him, listening for and believing Him (enough to take whatever step of faith He provides in meeting your need). All God ever wanted was a friend (Ja. 2:23). There is no wrath for God's friends (Ro. 8:1), but a wonderful relationship instead (II Co. 3:3,17). © by Joyce C. Lock
