How can the Old Testament God of Wrath be the same as the New Testament God of Love?
-
Answer: The Bible asserts that God is unchanging (Malachi 3:6) and that He is both perfectly Holy (which requires justice against sin) and perfectly Love (which provides a way for forgiveness).

Explanation: The Old Testament often highlights God's justice against covenant-breaking and sin, while also demonstrating incredible patience and love (e.g., the repeated forgiving of Israel). The New Testament climaxes this love by showing God's provision for justice and love to meet at the cross: Jesus satisfies God's righteous wrath against sin, allowing His love to grant mercy to the believer (Romans 5:8; Romans 3:25-26).

A woman who had given birth to a son was ceremonially "unclean". This meant she was unable to enter the temple for worship for seven days or until the circumcision of the child. Then for 33 more days she was not allowed to come into the sanctuary. After 40 days she needed to come to the temple and be purified by offerings prescribed by Jewish law.
