God is good, but He is just

God is a good God and has mercy on His followers.  But God is a just God and will punish those who blatantly sin.

If you think about God being like a mother and father to us, you can see it this way: When we obey and follow the rules, God smiles on us like a mother, but when we disobey God, He is like a father and will reprimand us.

God's righteous disposition is free of any elements of offense.  It is holy and flawless.  Although we can be faithful and follow God's commands, if we sin against God, He will judge us according to His righteous disposition.

Just as we like to obey our parents and feel the love from them, we should be even more motivated to do the same for God.

God loves us.  Show your love by obeying Him today.

Psalm 1:6 – "For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction."
