God is Not Angry With You -- And He Never Will Be!

"In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

"For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee." (Isaiah 54: 8-9)

The wrath against us for our sins has been wiped away because Jesus Christ took the wrath for all our sin. The previous chapter in Isaiah reports this wonderful gift:

"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53: 4-5)

"By His stripes, we are  healed" -- right now, in our Spirit man, we have all the healing that we need. "Surely" -- this is not open for debate, He has done it, "bruised for our iniquities" Jesus has done this!

What do the waters of Noah represent? Peter explains:

"The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:" (1 Peter 3: 21)

Jesus' resurrection has granted us new life in Him, that in Him we are now accepted, fully graced in Him! (Ephesians 1: 6)

The "everlasting kindness" is the gift of righteousness, the perfect standing of accepted before God because Jesus has given us His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5: 21)

When we are established in His righteousness (Isaiah 54: 14), no weapon formed against us can prosper (Isaiah 54: 17), including the attacks and the condemnation of the Enemy, for in Christ there is no condemnation (Romans 8: 1).

No condemnation for us because Jesus became sin itself in our place (2 Corinthians 5: 21), and thus we are set free from every having to feel God's wrath in our lives:

"Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." (Romans 5: 9)

God is not angry with you, Beloved! Rejoice!
