Anointed by the Lord
from Briensburg United Methodist Church · host Briensburg United Methodist Church
Note this important difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Under the Old Testament, the prevailing thought was that we should find out what was not pleasing to the Lord, and try to keep from doing that. People thought they should try to appease God and keep from doing anything that might make God mad because they were afraid God might reign down terrors of wrathful vengeance on them for the least infractions. Under the New Testament, (although some people still have that Old Testament view), we are encouraged to find out what God likes and do that, not from fear but from love as our response to the great love we are realizing God has for us and for all, as Jesus demonstrated.
