God's Alien Work Explained
- God's judgment against His own people is described as an "alien work," unlike His usual saving deeds.
- This judgment is not wrongful but necessary to bring about repentance and restoration.
Love Versus Wrath of God
- God's love is intrinsic to His nature, whereas His wrath is an alien work prompted by human sin.
- God would rather not express wrath but will when necessary due to humanity's rebellion.
Respond Rightly To Judgment
- Don't scoff or harden your hearts when God brings judgment.
- Instead, run to God and do not strengthen the bonds of your sinful rebellion.
