Read Deuteronomy 14, Psalm 145, Acts 23
Many people often claim that the God of the Old Testament is not the same character as the God of the New Testament. This is false. This comes from a lack of understanding about the text and most likely from not a complete reading of the Old and New Testaments. In Psalm 145 we find this description of God from David, “The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. 9 The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made” vv. 8-9. One of the things I am amazed at is the forgiving and relenting nature of God when people would repent and turn back to Him. God would graciously forgive them and remove his judgment. Even the wicked kings like Ahab and Manasseh experienced God’s forgiveness when they repented.
