Grace through Judgment

Takeaway: Is the church too soft on evil and injustice, or is it too harsh? Does God bring a message of judgment or grace? By pitting one against the other, we are likely to misunderstand both. Noah’s flood demonstrates the true nature of grace through judgment that we find in the cross of Christ. It should lead us to both a greater hatred of sin in our lives and a greater assurance in our forgiveness. Do you find yourself more often treating sin lightly or being more judgmental? What prevents you from being assured that Christ has forgiven your sins?
