The Seriousness of Yahweh's Day

Zephaniah 1 portrays a God who demands reverence, whose just jealousy judges with flames of wrath. The words the prophet uses to describe the outbreak of divine anger are breathtaking. Christ became sin and a curse for those who would believe in him,. This results in those who were once God's enemies, being justified by Christ's blood and then saved from the wrath of God. He himself bore our sins and his body on the tree that we might die to sin and live to righteousness by his wounds we are healed.
