Jeremiah 4-6

[wolfpurplemoon]

The best reason God can come up with for Israel to follow his demands is because otherwise he'll unleash his wrath on them. This is not a good reason to do what someone says, not a healthy one anyway.

Because God had not yet sent His son to be sacrificed for all sins on the cross as the greatest portrayal of Love (what does that word even mean to a "non-believer"?) there was no ability for them to make right what they had done wrong. This is why God had to deal with them harshly but in Proverbs 3 it also reminds us that " God gives correction to those he loves just like a father corrects his child that he loves." After the death of Christ on the cross there is no more mention of Gods wrath until the second coming. Because. Jesus paid our price. God still intends to teach humans right from wrong, but we never truly get the punishment we deserve unless we die without believing that Christ came to save us from this corrupt earth.
