In Wrath Remember Mercy

Louie Giglio

March 10, 2019

Have you felt it? The sense that we’ve lost the wonder? The feeling that we have lost sight of the awesome scale of our God. We’ve decided to look at Him under a microscope, limiting our ability to see a more full picture of who God truly is and deciding on our own which attributes of the Eternal and Almighty God we want to accept. What we need, however, is to open the aperture through which we are willing to look at God in all of his likenesses and dive deeper into His Wisdom, His Holiness, His Mercy.

Louie Giglio wants us to focus on God’s Wrath and His Mercy. It’s only by fully realizing the one, that we can appreciate in earnest the other. God’s Mercy only makes the impact on our lives that it should when we have a full grasp of His Wrath that was due us until it was poured upon Jesus that day on Calvary answering the prayers of God’s people: LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2

1Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children

2and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

3But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.

4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient.

10“Have them make an ark of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.

11Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it.

12Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other.

13Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

14Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it.

15The poles are to remain in the rings of this ark; they are not to be removed.

16Then put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law, which I will give you.

17“Make an atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

18And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.

19Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends.

20The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.

21Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law that I will give you.

22There, above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.

4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

9not by works, so that no one can boast.

10For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

21God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

21But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

22This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,

23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

24and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

25God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
