THE UNSPARING GOD
Pastor J. C. O’Hair
In the Scriptures listed above we certainly learn that God is the GOD WHO SPARED NOT. Note these profound statements, these warnings from God Who is a holy and just and righteous Judge, as well as a longsuffering Saviour:
“For if GOD SPARED NOT the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And SPARED NOT the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them AN ENSAMPLE unto those that after should live ungodly.” (II Peter 2:4 to 6).
“For if GOD SPARED NOT the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not thee.” (Romans 11:21).
“He that SPARED NOT His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
The angels have already received a terrible judgment, but a more terrible judgment awaits them. They are reserved in chains of darkness awaiting God’s wrath. God’s Word is, that “HE SPARED NOT” the angels.
Sinners do not like to hear of God’s anger and wrath. But it is difficult to understand how these same sinners refuse to respond to God’s offer of salvation by grace, and are so utterly indifferent as to the wonderful love of God and the offer of eternal life through the Lord Jesus Christ. Comparatively few of them are either scared into salvation by the preaching of God’s wrath or persuaded to Calvary by preaching the wonderful love of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ told His hearers that when He returns to earth, as the Son of man, sinners will be like they were in the days of Noah. (Luke 17:26 - Matthew 24:37). The world was in an awful sinful condition when Noah preached to those antediluvian sinners. They refused to repent at Noah’s preaching, so God did something about it: “God SPARED NOT the old world, but brought in the flood upon the world of the ungodly.” The sinners refused to repent when the Son of God preached to them; but He cried out “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3). “How think ye shall escape the damnation of hell?” (Matthew 23:33). This message was proclaimed to His own nation. Christ came unto His own and His own received him not. (John 1:11 - Romans 11:7 to 11). God blinded and cast away his own chosen nation, Israel. Read Christ’s denunciation and judgment in Matthew 22:7 - 23:23 to 39 - Luke 21:20 to 24. God will not spare Gentiles. In spite of these Divine warnings, the great majority of God’s religious nation (Israel) rejected Christ. And hear God’s warning in Romans 11:21: “For if God SPARED NOT the natural branches (Israel), take heed lest He also spare not thee.” Why do not the Gentiles wake up, and know that if God SPARED NOT Israel, His peculiar treasure, He will not spare the Gentiles, the great majority of whom after 1900 years still despise God’s grace and reject His Son?
Think of the UNSPARING GOD in the language of Romans 8:32: “He that SPARED NOT His owSOME PRECIOUS THINGS IN THE BIBLE
What is the Gospel?
Believing
Christ died, that’s HISTORY.
Believing
Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again, that’s SALVATION.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto
you the gospel which the preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached
unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first
of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures. 1. Corinthians 15:1-4
