—Ezekiel 18:19-24

Sometimes people think of God in the Old Testament as harsh and quick to judge compared to Jesus. But if you look at the Scripture itself, you find that to be wrong. Even hundreds of years before the life of Jesus, God offered a path to life for the wicked—to turn from their wickedness and follow Him. God knew all along that His plan was to make a way for sinners to come to Him. The Old Testament points us forward to the story of Jesus, which is the ultimate expression of God’s character rather than a deviation from it.
