GOD'S REACTION TO HUMAN SIN

READ :Genesis 3:8-13. how did the lord approach adam and eve after they sinned? What was the purpose of the questions he asked them? The Lord approached them in order to ealuate-with them-the crime they had commited and to pass judgement on it. Through a process of judgement, in which questions were asked and answers iven, GOD was leading them to recognize that they were indeeed guilty and that their rebellion was unjustified. the result was seperation from the Lord, represented by their expulsion from the garden of Eden. WHAT is GOD'S reaction to sin? Eph.5:6. how are we to understand the idea of GOD'S wrath?

We should keep several things in mind when we talk about GOD'S wrath. First, human anger is not a model for understanding his wrath.our anger is often irrational in is and damaging. GOD'S wrath is untouched by sin and is primarily inteded for healing. (HEB. 12:6., REV.20:15-21:1) second, GOD's wrath against human sin testifies that he takes us seriously, that he does not ignore us even in our rebellion. Ignoring people can reveal disrespect, even unconcern. He reacts toour sin, and in so doing GOD tells us that we are important to him. Third, GOD'S wrath is not a permanent attribute of GOD but his reaction to the irrational presence of sin and evil. there is always a reason for it: sin provokes it(DEUT. 4:24,25). THEREFORE HIS wrath is momentary while HIS love endures forever(ISA. 54:8) because of sin, what was needed was someone who could deliver us from the coming wrath.(1 THESS. 1:10, NIV). IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE AND SEE HIM OR HER HURT, WOULD YOU NOT FEEL ANGER ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING? HOW CAN THIS PARALLEL HELP US UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF GOD'S WRATH?
