Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, we're going to be talking about God, and in particular,

we're going to be talking about God's posture towards us. If you listen to many preachers and

many theologians talk, it seems like God deep down kind of hates the world and hates us.

Yeah, he redeems us and he saves some some sinners but he does that purely for his own glory

but he doesn't really want to do that and then even jesus himself came into the world kind

of holding his nose and not very happy about the mission that he was on and in all of his

interactions with sinners was really just there to rebuke and yell at people god God is presented as harsh and Jesus is presented the same way.

And what this has produced in so many Christians,

and so many of us is fear,

where the thought of standing before Christ or being with the Lord

is a terrifying prospect.

So the question is, is that presentation of God biblical? Is it accurate? Is that

presentation of Jesus accurate? That's what John and I are going to be talking about on today's

episode. If this interests you, which we assume it does, stay tuned. If you'd like to help support
