Is the OT God a God of Provision?
Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists, answers a question about the way God is presented in the OT as in comparison to what we see from Christ in the NT. Is the God of the OT a "provisional" God who really desires the salvation of all? Ezk 18:30-32: Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!
