Hello again and thank you for listening to Aspastor John with a long time author and Pastor

John Piper.

I'm your host, Tony Ranky.

As you can imagine, we get a lot of questions about what it means to live as a child of God.

We go from being a rebel against the king to becoming a child of the king.

So how does God's disposition toward us change in the process?

And specifically, is God angry at his children when they sin?

It's a question from a listener named Kathleen.

Pastor John, hello, as a born-again believer, is God still angry at me when I sin?

I believe God's wrath is real and I have embraced Christ's propitiation for my sins.

But I struggle to understand the differences between God's wrath and anger over my sin

before and after my justification.

I personally hate my own sin and want to be done with it all.

So for now does Christ's death for my sins and subsequent propitiation mean that God

is never angry at me when I sin?

Or just that his final wrath on me was satisfied?

What is God's affectional disposition toward me in Christ when I stumble and sin in my

life right now?

It might be possible to put in a sentence or to the complex, affectional disposition of

God toward his children in this age.

But it seems to me that such efforts to do is less than what the scriptures actually

do when we read them regarding God's disposition toward us.
