God’s Holy War [Numbers 31]

Overview

People have a hard time believing God is wrathful and will exact vengeance. They want a God of love, and cannot accept a God of wrath. Yet the Bible speaks repeatedly about God's righteous wrath on sinful men. In fact, it speaks of God's wrath as one of His many glorious attributes. But how do I reconcile a good God with someone who commands Israel to kill babies and commit near genocide? What about the total eradication of certain people groups? Why is God so wrathful?  The struggle lies in how differently God and us see sin. We underestimate sin's destructiveness and infectivity. This story of God's Holy war in Numbers 31 should help you see more clearly how God sees sin. May this help you avoid temptation, fight sin, and rejoice in His grace.
