Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him

Various

 

             Following are other verses that concern our destiny. Every one of these promises is ours. We can depend on them, because we can depend on the One who made them to us. They are settled in Heaven, and thus will come to pass here on earth for us.

 

Wrath:

 

            Delivers from the wrath of God:   

 

1 Thessalonians 1:10

10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

 

Romans 5:9

9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

 

            This wrath the verses are talking about is not a physical wrath, but a spiritual one. A physical wrath would last only a limited amount of time, but a spiritual one lasts forever. This wrath won’t happen until after Jesus returns from Heaven. We have nothing to fear … not because of anything that we have done. It’s because of Jesus’ blood. That is what justified us. God must be just and the justifier of those who believe in His Son. Our sins say the justice we deserve is eternal death, but the blood He shed says we receive eternal life.

 

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "Do not fear little ones. I will not harm you. I will not do anything to hurt you in any way. You are My precious ones, and I would do nothing to harm you. You have nothing to fear from Me. Those who are of the world have something to fear, but you do not. I would do nothing to harm My people. You are the light of the world and are My means of reaching the people of the world. You are My examples to them of what I want in My people. You should not have fear of what I intend to do to you or through you. I would do nothing to harm My people.”

 

            91. He delivers me from the wrath of God to come upon the sons of disobedience.
