This is a ministry of striving for eternity. Why is the God of the

01:18

New Testament so different than the God of the Old Testament? Well, this is an argument that's not actually all that new.

01:26

Actually, one of the early church fathers had to deal with this, because very early into church history,

01:32

Marcion had come up with the idea that there were two different gods, one of the

01:38

Old Testament and one of the New Testament. And the God of the Old Testament was somehow this wrathful, hateful

01:46

God, where the God of the New Testament was this loving God. Very different.

01:52

However, what we end up seeing is that's not exactly true. The God of the Old Testament is consistent and the same

01:59

God of the New Testament. However, what people fail to recognize, because they want to focus on somehow

02:06

God has changed, when God didn't change, who God is dealing with has changed.

02:12

In other words, God in the Old Testament is dealing with a nation, the nation of Israel, who was supposed to be as a nation representing

02:20

Him, and He had rules and laws for them to follow as a nation of ambassadors, a nation that represented

02:27

Him. Now we deal with a church, a church that is from all over the world, from many nations, still representing

02:35

Him. However, we don't come as one nation conquering as a nation, we come as people from all the nations sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

02:45

So it's not that God changed, it's who He is dealing with changed. It's no longer Israel, but now the church.
