Not only does it portray who God is but it also portrays who we are as God’s people. Throughout bible class this semester we learned how to observe, interpret, analyze and apply the bible into our own lives.

The passage also discusses who God is. In this passage it shows the many faces of God, such as anger, wrath, forgiveness, love, just, and mercy.
