S2 E152: The God We Like vs. The God Who Is

Have we unintentionally become selective about which parts of God's character we're willing to talk about?We often celebrate God's love, grace, mercy, and forgiveness—and we should. But what about His holiness? His justice? His righteousness? His call to repentance?In this episode of Unpolished but Called, we explore the difference between the God we like and the God who has revealed Himself in Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible presents one unchanging God whose holiness and love, justice and mercy, righteousness and grace exist together in perfect harmony.We'll examine why the Old Testament is filled with mercy, why Jesus didn't lower God's standard, and why the cross only makes sense when we understand the full character of God.Scripture ReferencesJohn 14:9Genesis 3:21Genesis 6:8Psalm 51:1–2Jonah 4:2Matthew 5:21–22Matthew 5:27–28Matthew 5:44Luke 9:23Malachi 3:6Hebrews 13:82 Timothy 3:16–17🔗 Connect with Me🌐 Websitehttps://kathrinshaffer.com🔗 Linktreehttps://linktr.ee/kathrinshaffer📚 Books & Bible StudiesAvailable on my website and Amazon.📬 Join my FREE weekly newsletterWalking It Out with Kathrin🎁 Free resources, downloads, podcast updates, and more:https://linktr.ee/kathrinshafferIf today's episode encouraged you, consider sharing it with a friend, leaving a review, or subscribing wherever you listen to podcasts.
