Ep03.11e: Unpacking Series - Evil/Sin (God’s Response)

The seven hour exploration into evil and sin continues.  Given the scope and sheer volume of information on this issue, we have broken the study into six sections:

   a: a definition of evil/sin

   b: what evil/sin results in

   c: why a perfect, good, loving, and omnipotent God allows evil/sin

   d: a working list of all the evils/sins the Bible mentions

   e: how God interacts with and responds to sin

   f: how we are to minimize, interact with, and respond to sin

Here in part E, we explore specifically what Scriptures have to say about God's response(s) to evil and sin.  What roles do love, hatred, justice, patience, forgiveness, punishment, discipline, encouragement, strengthening, etc. play in the process?

 

Here is the TIMESTAMP for this episode:

00:00 - a quick recap of the first four episodes (3.11a-d) on the defintion of evil/sin, what it results in, why it exists in such volume in life, and what the specific sins are; as well as a vulnerable talk on the journey to re-thinking and better understanding how God reacts to sin.

18:43 - looking into God's love of humanity, His hatred and grieving of sin, the criticalness of His patience with and forgiveness of sin because of atonement, His emphasis on guidance and discipline/training/strengthening, and the selective/particular role of anger & wrath when needed.

44:32 - discussing implications, encouragements, pushbacks, and application in our lives according to God's various (incredible) responses to sin.
