• God’s righteous judgment on sinners and the wicked
      - Romans 12:19 “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’”
      - John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
      - Psalm 1:5-6 “Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”
      - Revelation 21:8+ **God’s discipline on believers**
      
      - Moses and the Rock → Moses was not able to enter the promised land
      - David and Bathsheba → David’s kingdom was taken from him by his own children
      - Jacob & Esau → Jacob I loved & Esau I hated, how did God manifest his love and his hatred?
      - Personal examples+ **The consequences and effects of sin and our fallen world**
      
      - Genesis 3: the fall
      - Can come from our sin or others' sin+ **The Reality of Satan**
      
      - Satan is constantly wanting to deceive and tempt us.
      
          * God does not tempt us, he will only test us and give us opportunities to be faithful
      
              + **James 1:13** When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;* **1 chor 10:13** No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.+ **How satan has deceived our society**
      
      - He wants to convince our society that God doesn't exist
      
          * He does this through multiple forms of manipulation, even though people that profess to be Christians such as prosperity gospel preachers
