We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Are you being persecuted for Jesus Christ? In that context, 1 Peter 4:5 says, “But they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.” All judgment has been given to the Son (John 5:22) and according to this verse, He is “ready” to bring that judgment. There will be accountability. So, what should we do? We too need to be “ready.” A chapter earlier, Peter told us to be “ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Pet. 3:15).

It is impossible to conceive a Savior more suited to the wants of man’s heart than our Lord Jesus Christ - suited not only by His power, but by His sympathy - suited not only by His divinity, but by His humanity. Labor, I beseech you, to get firmly impressed on your mind that Christ, the refuge of souls, is Man as well as God. Honor Him as King of kings, and Lord of lords. But while you do this, never forget that He had a body and was a Man. Grasp this truth and never let it go. The unhappy Socinian errs fearfully when he says that Christ was only Man, and not God. But let not the rebound from that error make you forget that while Christ was very God, He was also very Man.

Bible – russian – Синодальный перевод Псалтырь 74

74
Начальнику хора. Не погуби. Псалом Асафа. Песнь.
Славим Тебя, Боже, славим, ибо близко имя Твое; возвещают чудеса Твои.
“Когда изберу время, Я произведу суд по правде.
Колеблется земля и все живущие на ней: Я утвержу столпы ее”.
Говорю безумствующим: “не безумствуйте”, и нечестивым: “не поднимайте рога,
не поднимайте высоко рога вашего, не говорите жестоковыйно”,
ибо не от востока и не от запада и не от пустыни возвышение,
но Бог есть судия: одного унижает, а другого возносит;
ибо чаша в руке Господа, вино кипит в ней, полное смешения, и Он наливает из нее. Даже дрожжи ее будут выжимать и пить все нечестивые земли.
10 А я буду возвещать вечно, буду воспевать Бога Иаковлева,
11 все роги нечестивых сломлю, и вознесутся роги праведника.
