What exactly is the wrath of God?&nbsp;\nIt is mentioned most often in the New Testament. One clear understanding\nof it is found in the reading of Romans chapter one. In that chapter, one can\nunderstand that God\u2019s wrath is holy and just in its indignation against sin. It\nis so much more than just <strong><em>anger<\/em><\/strong> at the willingness of people to\ncontinue in sin, it is <strong><em>extreme anger<\/em><\/strong> mingled with disgust or\nabhorrence of that sin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doesn\u2019t God love people? See what\nJesus said in the following verses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201c<strong>For God so loved\nthe world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him\nshould not perish, but have everlasting life<\/strong>\u201d (John 3:16).<\/li><li>&nbsp;\u201c<strong>For God sent not his Son into the world to\ncondemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved<\/strong>\u201d\n(John 3:17).<\/li><li>&nbsp;\u201c<strong>He that believeth on him is not condemned:\nbut he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in\nthe name of the only begotten Son of God<\/strong>\u201d (John 3:18).<\/li><li>&nbsp;\u201c<strong>And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and\nmen loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil<\/strong>\u201d\n(John 3:19).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would God, who is known for His\ngreat love, condemn people? People condemn themselves because they have chosen\nto <strong><em>not <\/em><\/strong>believe in Jesus (the Light) and instead love darkness \u2013\nbecause their deeds are evil. John summed up the consequences in the last verse\nof that chapter. It tells what becomes of one who does not believe that Jesus\ncame to die and take away the sin of each individual who would only believe. \u201c<strong>He that believeth on the Son hath\neverlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the\nwrath of God abideth on him<\/strong>\u201d (John 3:36)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can one escape the wrath of\nGod? It is declared simply in the Scriptures: \u201c<strong>9. That if thou\nshalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart\nthat God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the\nheart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made\nunto salvation<\/strong>\u201d (Romans 10:9-10). In doing this, one must turn from\nidols (anything that is more important than God \u2013 including self) and serve the\nliving God. One must also understand that Jesus, God\u2019s Son, is the only One who\ncan deliver one from the wrath to come. \u201c<strong>9. For they themselves shew of us what\nmanner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to\nserve the living and true God;&nbsp;10. And to wait for his Son from heaven,\nwhom he raised from the dead, <em>even<\/em> Jesus, which delivered us from the\nwrath to come<\/strong>\u201d (1 Thessalonians 1:9-10). We are now waiting for\nJesus to come and take us out of the world before the wrath of God comes. The\nbook of Revelation gives us a glimpse into the wrath of God that will be\nunleashed upon the earth one day (not to mention in eternity for those who have\nalready died in their sin). One only needs to read the chapters of fourteen and\nfifteen of Revelation to understand just how bad the wrath of God that will\nbefall those left on the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now having understood from John chapter\nthree that the wrath of God abides upon people who do not believe in Jesus, each\nperson has a choice to make:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><em>Believe on the\nSon and have everlasting life<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><em>Or<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><em>Believe not the Son and have the wrath of God abide upon them.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you made the choice to believe in Jesus, choosing life? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-biblical-path-of-life\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"b9jATqf7lk\"><a href=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/index.php\/how-to-be-saved\/\">How to be Saved<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;How to be Saved&#8221; &#8212; The Biblical Path of Life\" src=\"http:\/\/biblicalpath.com\/index.php\/how-to-be-saved\/embed\/#?secret=idXLytnj5p#?secret=b9jATqf7lk\" data-secret=\"b9jATqf7lk\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one talks about the wrath of God anymore.
