If we try to make much of the love of God by downplaying the wrath of God, we destroy the love of God. Professing Christians and pastors and churches all over the world are undermining the glory of God’s love. How so? By advocating for God’s love in denial of his other attributes and actions. That’s what Pastor John explains today, in a clip from his 1999 sermon on Romans 5:9 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath `of God' through him. –11. Today’s clip was sent to us from a longtime podcast listener named Grant Harms. The sermon is on Romans 5:9 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath `of God' through him. –11. Let me read this glorious text first: “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” Pastor John is going to expound this main text in a moment, after he makes a point from Revelation.
