After a careful study of the old Testament, it will be observed that God is a God of fierce anger. He doesn’t tolerate nonsense even from His beloved people of Israel. He destroyed anyone or city involved in sin or disobedience. He destroyed the world with flood and Sodom and Gomorrah with fire because of sin (Genesis 7:10; Genesis 19:24).

The numerous secret and open sin of today by many cannot be compared to the sin of old and you may ask and wonder why God who doesn’t condone sin now suddenly tolerate us. It is simply because of what His Son Jesus did for us on the cross of Calvary (Romans 5:8 ). Whenever He looks at the cross of His Son, His fierce anger melt, tolerating us and hoping that we will all repent and not willing that anyone should perish but all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
