People often get the idea that God is mad at them. We hear how God hates sin, and Jesus died for our sins to satisfy God’s wrath. Despite how much leaders and teachers emphasize God’s love, we are human, and we interpret biblical ideas like sin and judgment to mean God doesn’t like us, or he’s simply waiting for us to fail. Beyond the human aspect, our “flesh,” Satan gets involved. When we encounter truth, the Devil lies to twist it and accuse God and us, as he’s done from the beginning. The enemy will interpret God’s Word, or attempt to, if we allow it. Further, the world systems and philosophies take corrupt interpretations and deceptions and communicate them, too. The truth is, God deals with sin and corruption expressly because he loves us and likes us. He values us greatly. It does well for us to remember how he feels about us, truly, which encourages us all, leads us to life, and combats the lies of the enemy who seeks to destroy us.
