Go ahead and check out the last article as you'll need to be familiar with it as we just dive right into this one.

Verse 25 says, "...the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed."

Although God provided first dibs to the Israeli nation, God extends his loving invitation to the entire world.  This is where you and I come in (provided you're a gentile).

Acts three spells out the fact that not only were the folks of Jerusalem the enemies of God, the entire world is at enmity against him.  God requires ultimate justice against all of his enemies (that includes us Hoosiers).

Because of the fact that Jesus took the penalty in our place, God place all of his wrath on Jesus.  In laymens terms, Jesus took the heat.  Please listen.

If this special gift of God is rejected (if you refuse to believe it), then the wrath of God abides on you.

You do nothing special of your own to win God's favor.  It is HIS way or NO way.

OK...see you next time.
