God’s will is that Christians live out the faith in this hostile world together, in close commitment to one another. We pray, we love and forgive, we open our homes, we use spiritual gifts to build up the church, and we do all of this to the glory of God in Christ!

Cary Cox, from Genesis 18 (Genesis Study 37). God appears to Abraham and they share a covenant meal. The Lord brings two announcements: An announcement of promise concerning Sarah, which displays his great and wonderful mercy! And an announcement of judgment for Sodom, which displays his great wrath and justice! God is, at the same time, the glorious God of mercy and judgment! Both his mercy and wrath are displayed at the cross in Christ, who rescues us from judgment and brings us into the enjoyment of God’s mercy!
