     | 2,382 views

    John Stott says that Genesis 1-11 is really a preface to the rest of the bible in which we can see God´s plan and story enacted through a man named Abraham. Galatians 3:8 predicted that the gospel would be preached through Abraham to the entire world.

    The Wrath Of A Loving God Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,730 views

    Many people do not think of God in the way that He reveals Himself, as a God who is not only loving, but also angry at sin. He hates the sinner and the sin.

This subject is so important to study so we can have a correct ...read more
