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!
