In Jonah, we saw that God faithfully pursues the repentance of people. In His longsuffering nature, the Lord patiently extends mercy. God’s final words in the book of Jonah show that He deeply cares and longs to save. However, God is also righteous and holy. Sin is a treasonous act against His lordship, and He promises that sin will be judged. Through His Law and His prophets, God continually warned His people of the consequences of abandoning their relationship with Him for sin. Sin brings judgment for all people. In the Old Testament, God displayed His judgment over sin in a limited way. This judgment on Israel was only a shadow of the eternal judgment to come. We can rejoice, however, that Jesus Christ bore the wrath of God’s eternal judgment for all who will repent and believe.
