God does not punish sinners to be mean!

God does not punish sinners!

Sinners are hurting themselves with their sins!

When God uses harsh language in The Bible to scare us away from sin, He is trying to save us!

For it is not God that punishes sinners!

People who sin are hurting themselves!

God is trying to save them!

But there is more at stake here!

For God is trying to save them in a way so that they will learn!

If it was just a matter of saving us, God would simply- Poof!- save us!

But it is meant to be a learning experience!

We are being taught so that we understand!

God is not just saving us- He is teaching us!

In time we will learn, and we will understand!

God loves you!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
