1 Part 6: Jonah 4:1-4 The God of Grace
The Words of Grace Part 6: Jonah 4:1-4 The God of Grace

2 The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers
The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. Psalm 5:5 The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Psalm 11:5

3 1 Corinthians 6:18-19 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?

4 Jonah 1:1-3 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

Jonah 2:9 ‘Salvation belongs to the Lord’

7 Outline Jonah’s Prejudice Jonah’s Pre-supposition
Jonah’s Pessimistic Plea Jonah’s Problem

8 Big Idea A judgmental spirit that forgets one’s own need of grace will inhibit one’s ability to appreciate God’s grace toward other people.

9 Jonah’s Prejudice

10 Jonah’s Pre-supposition

11 Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

12 Habakkuk 1:13 You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?

13 Romans 5:8 …God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

14 …faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17 …faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

15 Jonah’s Pessimistic Plea

16 Luke 15:28-29 But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

17 Luke 15:30-31 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

18 Luke 15:32 It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’ ”

19 Jonah’s Problem

20 1 John 4:7-9 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

21 1 John 4:10-12 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
