God is not mad at you!
By Apostle Cathryn Ndyabagye

So many times we grow up with abuse in our homes, and rules and regulations
we have to keep. Many relate this to God when they get saved.
Many thing God is mad at them. So they think God is mean or mad at
them. But He is not!

Psalm 103:8The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

God is slow to anger... Many times he got angry at the Israelites
forturning to Idol worship and sins, and threatened to destroy them, and
then God changedhis mind, because He loved them. Over and over again
he forgave them.

Well, God is not angry. Romans 5:8 while we were yet sinners Christ
died for us.

How much more now--does he care for us! So we should know if
we gave our livesto Him we become His children, so he cares a lot for us.

​

We must understand that there are two things:
1. Who we are in Christ.
Do you know who you are in Jesus? Know He loves you!
2. what we do. Do we live a righteous life? We can go to Jesus
if we mess up or make a mistake and he will forgive us.

We have to separate who we are from what we do.
We must know who we are in the Lord.

And we must Trust God in all that we do.

God is not mad at you. He loves you so much!

Anyone who wants to live under the law is doomed.
So rules and regulations will not help us. They never work!
It's Jesus who saves us by his grace.

​

Romans 3:20 - Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with the Messiah; it is no longer
I who live, but the Messiah lives in me; and the life which I now live in
the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself
for me.

Romans 6:14 - For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under
the law, but under grace.

Romans 6:15 - What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but
under grace? God forbid!

Galatians 3:23-24
23 - But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law,
kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
24 - Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to the Messiah, that we might
be justified by faith.

Galatians 4:4 - But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth
His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 - to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive
the adoption as sons.

If he took the time to adopt us gentiles then you know he loves us!

Galatians 5:18 - But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Jesus forgave you when you turned your life to Christ.
He knows we all have to grow in Him in the word and Spirit.

If you know who you are in Christ Jesus, there will be no guilt or condemnation.

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus.

​

So do not allow people to try to put you under the law again when you are free
from the law, and live in God's grace.

​

If you do not know who you are in Christ, you can never do right.

We can't count our sins nor the good we do.

We live by grace of Jesus Christ and go to him and leave our sins
there. And once we repent, he cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
So he is not mad at us. We are free in Him

​

There is a difference of living under the law and under grace...

Living under the old law, or covenant was made for the Jewish people.

When Jesus came and gave his life for us he brought a New Covenant

All people besides the Jewish are called Gentiles.

​

The Gentiles, He adopted us into his family,
so we could win the Jews and those under the law back to him.

We are to win those under the law to Christ Jesus!

1 Corin. 9:19-22 I am a free man, nobody's slave; but I make myself
everybody's slave in order to win as many people as possible.
20 While working with the Jews, I live like a Jew in order to
win them; and even though I myself am not subject to the Law of
Moses, I live as though I were when working with those who are,
in order to win them. 21 In the same way, when working with
Gentiles, I live like a Gentile, outside the Jewish Law, in
order to win Gentiles. This does not mean that I don't obey
God's law; I am really under Christ's law. 22 Among the weak
in faith I become weak like one of them, in order to win them.

So I become all things to all people, that I may save some of
them by whatever means are possible.

​

We were bought with a price and Jesus was that offering.
By his blood we are saved into Jesus 'new' law. The law of Grace.

We don't have to stress out at the ten commandments if we really love
God. For if we live a righteous life and in right standing with God
we won't break them.

​

God loves us and wants a relationship with us. He cares about our every need.
He wants to take care of us! He wants us to love him by Living for Him.
He also wants us to know that he loves us so much!

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son
that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

If you live for Jesus you should be confident in His grace and love.
Our hope is in Him. Trust Jesus and He will help you through it all.

​

Live by faith and believe!
God is your Father and He is not mad at you.
