People Shocked To Find Out That The ‘Mean And Fiery God’ Of The Old Testament Is The Same ‘Loving God’ In The New Testament
God in the Old Testament killed a man for picking up sticks on the Sabbath day, God in the New Testament died in our place on the cross. They are one in the same.
When you read through the Old Testament, especially in the Torah, it can be eye-watering how severe and seemingly harsh that Jehovah God can be, especially towards His chosen people, the Jews. Go into the New Testament and you will see a God of love and mercy, so much so that He gave His only begotten Son to save filthy sinners. Can that possibly be the same God? Yep.
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we take a fascinating look at how God deals with people in different dispensations, and in doing so we see a wonderful picture of His perfect righteousness and holiness. Why is that important? Because God for the past 6,000 years has been calling out people to be in relationship with Him, and in order to do that you have to have His righteousness. God is not interested in meeting with you on your terms, He is only interested in His terms. What else would you expect from Someone who ‘worketh all things after the counsel of his own will’? On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we open the pages of our King James Bibles to see God in all His glory!

“And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.” Deuteronomy 28:63 (KJV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJV)
