"God is mad at the world so He's going to judge everyone including me."
How it sounds in your head: I hear about God's wrath and judgment coming on the earth, and I'm scared that I'll mess up and be part of what He's angry about. Maybe He's mad at me too. Maybe I'm not good enough to escape His anger when He judges the world.
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
-- John 3:17Source: religion - Old Covenant wrath theology applied to New Covenant believers, erasing the finished work of the cross.
She's heard fire-and-brimstone preaching about God's coming judgment and hasn't heard the Gospel of GRACE loud enough. She conflates God's justice on systems with personal rejection, and her tender heart internalizes condemnation.
Rahab was a prostitute in a city under God's judgment, but because she believed and tied a scarlet cord in her window, she and her ENTIRE FAMILY were saved INSTANTLY while the rest of the city fell. Grace in the midst of judgment.
I REFUSE the lie that God is mad at me or coming after me in wrath. IT IS WRITTEN that God did NOT send Jesus to CONDEMN me but to SAVE me, and there is NOW no condemnation for me because I am IN Christ. I am not under judgment—I am under the BLOOD. The BARAK blessing that covered Noah in the ark and Lot in Sodom covers me—God delivers the righteous, and I AM righteous through Jesus. IT IS WRITTEN that His anger lasts a moment but His FAVOR lasts a LIFETIME. I declare God is not angry with me—He is PLEASED with me because I am His beloved daughter. I am not running FROM Him—I am running TO Him, and He is running to ME with OPEN ARMS.
Your Father isn't scanning the earth for people to punish—He's scanning it for people to SAVE, and you're already in His arms. He's not running toward you with a sword—He's running with a ROBE, a RING, and a PARTY because you're His DAUGHTER, not His defendant.
