Last week's class focused on the uncomfortable topic of
God's "judgement." God's judgement is a reflection of God's
justice, but it does not exist in isolation. God's perfect justice
("holiness") is paired with the other side of God's nature, perfect
love ("grace"). "Knowing God" means understanding
both of these essential parts of God. This week, we further explore who
God is by considering God's "goodness" (love) and God's
"severity" (justice). A key question to consider: how is it
that aspects of God that sound scary like "wrath,"
"jealousy," and "judgement" actually are evidence of God's
care and compassion for us? This lesson draws on chapters 15-17 of J.I.
Packer’s book, Knowing God.
