Many people - including Christians today don't know they have been reconciled unto God. They think God is mad at them or that He is after them to punish them.
Most of them have heard the message of condemnation preached instead of the message of reconciliation. So they think God is sitting up in Heaven with a big "baseball bat," ready to punish them for their sins, saying, "I'm going to get you!"
2 Corinthians 5:19 (Amplified) states: "It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, NOT COUNTING UP and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor)."
Something to think about.
Much love,
Joseph
