The Lord is Coming Part 2
Cary Cox, from Malachi 2:17-3:5. God has told his people that he is coming to them. But now he clarifies that this might not be as fun as they think. When he comes, he will painfully purify his people, and he will judge the wicked.
God Judges and God Saves
Cary Cox, from Genesis 19. God absolutely destroys Sodom and Gomorrah for their great sins, but he rescues Lot in his great mercy. We are shocked into understanding just how wicked sin is in the sight of God. We see Lot’s failure to lead his family spiritually, or to exercise wisdom and spiritual discernment. God’s people are warned against loving this world, and reminded that judgment is coming. Our salvation and our treasure are in Christ!
God of Mercy and Judgment
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!
Remember God Judges Sin – Jude Study 3
Cary Cox, from Jude 5-7. The church in every generation will face some form of the lie that you can live in sin and not be judged by God.

He gives us 3 examples from Scripture to show that when we step outside the boundaries God has set over our lives and our bodies, God will judge this rebellion. Christ saves us from the wrath of God!
