An Angry God

Does God still angry with us?

I've heard many-many services that the priest said to the congregation;

"Be loyal to God"

"If we're not bringing soul to God, He will not use you anymore as His servants"

"Bear fruit or else... God will curse you like He cursed the fig tree"

Week after weeks, year after years hearing that kind of sermon i realized that my opinion to God was that He is still angry with me. Whatever i've done seem never enough to satisfy Him.

Let's search what Paul said about this in Romans 5:1.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The truth is that God is not angry with us anymore!
Whatever bad things we did, it can not remove the fact that He alrade made peace with us through Christ Jesus.

Winning souls, bearing fruits, serving Him, doing good, we do those things as the Spirit of God works in us that we are now able to express our love as He first loves us. Not to avoid His anger and judgement.

God is not angry with us anymore!
