Meditate
On
“For
this is like the waters of Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of
Noah would no longer cover the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be angry
with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart and the hills be
removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of
peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
Isaiah
54:9–10
God Will Never Be Angry With You
The
good news of the gospel is that God will NEVER be angry with us. He only has to
tell us this, but He wanted us to be so sure that He swore in His Word that He
would never be angry with us again.
Today’s
verses are from Isaiah 54, which is right after the famous messianic chapter of
the sufferings of Christ in Isaiah 53. Therefore, Isaiah 54 is spelling out the
triumphs and spoils of His sufferings.
Do
you know why God will never be angry with us again? It is because of what
Christ has accomplished for us! On the cross, God poured out all His anger on
the body of His Son. Jesus exhausted all the fiery indignation of a holy God
against all our sins. And because our sins have already been punished, God, who
is a holy and just God, will not punish us today when we believe in what Christ
has done.
God’s holiness is now on your side. His righteousness is now for you,
not against you. You are His beloved, in whom He is well pleased because of
Jesus’ finished work!
When
you believe this truth, you will have the confidence to face every challenge
with boldness, knowing that you have God’s unmerited favor on your side!
