Here in Ezekiel God’s anger is poured out on Israel. They turned away from God and worshipped idols. God is not interested in the prayers of those who cling to their idols in their hearts and worship Him on Sunday and has zero faithfulness on Monday. God despises the study of the Bible without obedience to the Bible.
He will always save sinners but only those repenting of sin. He will not save sinners in a way that profanes His name. When Israel’s sin provoked the Lord to anger, He saved them for the sake of His name. His works is aimed at the goal that the world will know He is the Lord. God will save people from His anger when they repent so that they can know He is God and that the world will know He is God.
In essence the heart of God loves His creation. He will always try to save a person instead to let them perish. It is our own hearts and our own choices that removes us from His grace and set us on a course of destruction. Yet even then God will use your demise to show Him to you. That is why Jesus said that we should love our enemies.
In the end we who are hated or attacked by someone is the very light they need to see as we remain rooted in Jesus so that His glory can be the light that shines through us and lead the fallen back to God.
Have an awesome day, my dear friend.
