That’s why when it comes to sinners – sick people – they deserve God’s wrath. And we can’t stand it when it looks like sinners maybe getting away with doing bad stuff. We want justice! We want it now!!! When the truth doesn’t come down right away, we think God’s being unfair. But when it comes to good people – we want mercy and understanding. And when justice does show up, we beg for mercy. Because the way we perceive is so medley by sin and self-absorption, only God who is rich in mercy can change us.
