First Baptist Church Norfolk, NE

This is the beauty and the depth of the gospel. The wrath of God was satisfied by the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ demonstrating both his justice and his love. Somebody get excited. At the cross, holiness and mercy meet, and justice is fulfilled without compromising grace. To truly understand God, we cannot divorce his love from his wrath. His love seeks to save. His wrath exists to confront sin, and together they reveal a God who is both holy and merciful and both just and compassionate. And even as we wrestle with his holiness and his wrath, we must embrace God's love not as sentimentality, but as redemptive power rooted in truth.
