We go from a rebel against the King to a child of the King. God’s attitude toward us completely changes. But does he still get angry at us when we sin? As you can imagine, we get a lot of questions about what it means to live as a child of God. We go from being a rebel against the King to becoming a child of the King. So how does God’s disposition toward us change? And specifically, is God angry at his children when they sin? It’s a question from a listener named Kathleen. “Pastor John, hello! As a born-again believer, is God still angry at me when I sin? I believe God’s wrath is real, and I have embraced Christ’s propitiation for my sins. But I struggle to understand the difference between God’s wrath and anger over my sin before and after my justification. I personally hate my own sin and want to be done with it all. But for now, does Christ’s death for my sins and subsequent propitiation mean that God is never angry at me when I sin? Or just that his final wrath on me was satisfied? What is God’s affectional disposition toward me, in Christ, when I stumble and sin in my life right now?” Episode 1361: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/is-god-angry-at-me-when-i-sin Related Resources: “How Does ‘Willful Sinning’ Threaten My Salvation?” https://youtu.be/UWQiFKVaWVk “Has My Sexual Sin Made Me Unsavable?” https://youtu.be/BkKKWO0qSvw “Why Does God Discipline Some Christians with Death?” https://youtu.be/d1Ly-9c1u48 “Two Strategies to Win the War on Lust” https://youtu.be/0yOHIGOSmMs Ask Pastor John Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFF7F6AE365DA3564 Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
