I used to think God was mostly about rules and punishment, which made me afraid to come near Him. Maybe you’ve felt that way too—like God is watching to catch you messing up.
Many of us wrestle with understanding who God really is. Some see Him as harsh and unforgiving, while others feel He’s distant and uninvolved. We want to know if God is truly loving and just.
In Exodus 34:6-7 (ESV), God reveals Himself to Moses: *“The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty…”* God is compassionate and patient, rich in love and faithfulness, forgiving, yet holy and just.
So what does this mean for you? When you feel burdened by mistakes, God’s mercy welcomes you. When life tests your patience, God’s faithfulness sustains you. When you struggle with sin, God’s justice invites you to repent and receive forgiveness. You can come to God with confidence, knowing He loves and judges with perfect balance.
Let’s remember and celebrate God’s true character—His mercy, love, patience, faithfulness, and justice—and live with courage and hope, trusting Him every day.
