Weekly Devotional - September 8th

What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known,

endured with great patience objects of wrath prepared for destruction?

Romans 9:22

It is interesting to note that many Christians today seem to hold a low view of God because

Western Christianity has largely moved away from the idea of a wrathful God. However, the

Apostle Paul seems to challenge this perspective in the first chapter of Romans.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of

people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

Romans 1:18

Christians are encouraged to trust in God’s promise that they will not face condemnation as

believers in Christ. However, there are instances when God temporarily withholds His patience and demonstrates to His chosen people by providing a taste of His wrath that there is never a time when He is not sovereign.
