-God is not safe because He allows bad things to happen, which pushes us to strive for peace, but He is ultimately good and loves us as our Father. While God is scary in His power and holiness, He loves us and protects those who trust in Him.
4. God is Good
If God is good, why does He allow bad things to
happen?
Luke 16:5
Through bad things, we strive for peace more and
more. This peace that we strive for can only be found
through the Lord.
6. God is Scary
Isaiah 6:1-5: In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a
throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above
him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face,
and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to
another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who
called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I
am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people
of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”

7. God Loves Us
Romans 8:31
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us,
who can be against us?
10. God is Our Father
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we
should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason
why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
1 John 3:1
11. -God is not safe because He
allows bad things to happen, but
He is good.
-God is not safe because He is
scary, but He Loves us.
-God is not safe because He
pushes us, but God is our
Father.
