God Has Personally Never Suffered, Part 3 of 3

February 14, 2012
Even those of us who live fast-paced lives should pause and ponder some mysteries. The suffering of God is one such mystery. In the wake of the terrible tsunami in Asia, we all struggle with the concept of human suffering. Today, we will try to understand the suffering of God, and why it brings meaning to our suffering as humans.

Some theologians hold that God is without passion, that He has no feelings and therefore, cannot personally suffer. While these theologians theorize, let us see what the Bible says, and find evidence that God indeed can suffer, and has suffered, and what all of that means to you and me. The implications are profound.

All of us are in a race to go somewhere or do something. Before you do, spend time to think some deep thoughts about God. Pause to ponder perhaps the deepest mystery of all. This profound mystery is the question of how God was affected by the sacrifice of His own Son. Was He passive or did He weep?

Many Christians say they love God, but how many say they fear Him? They have lost the sense of God’s righteous justice. As a result, they live as they like, claiming that Jesus will forgive whatever they do. After all, what is grace for? Get set for some powerful words to those who take sin lightly.

For too many of us, very little is permanent. Fads come and go. We forget that God never changes. His love never changes. His justice never changes. His opinion of our sin never changes either. Today you’ll hear more about the lie that God is more tolerant than He used to be — a lie we must all renounce.

In the Old Testament, sin was judged quickly and harshly. Nowadays it seems that sin goes virtually unpunished. Why? The answer lies in the distinction between God’s character and His administration of creation. Today we will learn why believing that God has changed is tantamount to believing a dangerous lie — one you cannot afford to believe.

Since many believe man evolved, they also think God has evolved. No longer mean, He is now a gentler, kinder God. And that is lie number two in our series about God: the lie that God is more tolerant than He used to be. Get set, because today, another myth is going to be debunked.

For some reason, many of us would be more mindful of proper protocol in meeting the President than we would be in meeting God. We are learning that God can only be approached through the right mediator: and that mediator between God and man is Jesus Christ. Today Dr. Lutzer shares some final thoughts on the great lie that we can come to God in any way we want.

A lot of people think they can come to God any way they like, not realizing that He can only be approached in one way. Pause in your daily race of life and consider that your thoughts about God might be fundamentally wrong. Lay aside your preconceptions and listen to what God Himself says. We will learn how to find Him and why coming to God only happens through the right sacrifice.

It is popular to think that we can approach God on our own terms. It is said, “All roads lead to Rome.” Although humans believe this, the Bible does not endorse it. In fact, it says quite the opposite. Far from offering a spiritual smorgasbord, the Bible insists that there is only one way to approach the Almighty. Before you buy into “pick your favorite God,” listen to today’s broadcast.

If you believe a lie long enough, for you it becomes the truth. Many of us harbor falsehoods that can send us to hell. Please stop in your race of life long enough to consider that you may be among those who believe wrongly about God. This is serious stuff, nothing is more important than what you believe about Him.
