God’s Word describes not only the love of God, but also the WRATH OF GOD!
We tend to focus on His love, but He is also capable of wrath (Romans 1:18).
In the Gospel, God is presented not only as the Loving God who saves, but also as the God who is Just and “He will PUNISH those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus” (2 Thess. 1:8).
To the elect, God gave them repentance (2 Tim. 2:25; Rom. 2:4; Acts 5:31). While the rest, He “GAVE THEM UP…” (Rom 1:24, 26, 28, ESV.)
In the New International Version, we read:
“God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity…” “God gave them over to shameful lusts.” “God…gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.”
IF He did NOT give you up, or give you over to the sinful desire of your heart, to shameful lust, or to a depraved mind -- rather, “been justified through faith,” or He gave you His Spirit -– should you not really “REJOICE in the hope of the glory of God” (Rom. 5:1-5)!?
