Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
When you read or talk about God’s wrath and how it is defined in the Bible, we see His divine wrath as the right and righteous response of God to sin; as it was when Mosese destroyed the first Ten Commandment Tablets because of the Children of Israel’s disobedience and worship of the golden calf. It is God’s holy action where those who do not heed God’s commandments, (the offender) but continue in the way of darkness, receives a punishment for their crime, in proportion to or similar to the offense they commit. In the eyes of the LORD, Who is the only one Who can exact such punishment, it is deserved and it warrants such a severe punishment, from The Father; whose actions deserve eternal condemnation. (What is sown will be reaped, what goes around comes around. These sayings sound corny but are so true). With all the benefits of His glory, freely given to us, He has enlightened us with righteous wisdom and knowledge so we will not be given up by Him to wallow in the lusts of our heart’s impure ways. This is the reason He shared His love with us, so that we will not sin and when we do are able to repent and move away from it so as not to find ourselves in the path of our Father’s wrath. Positively speaking, wrath, as it pertains to GOD, is in perfect harmony with all of his other divine attributes, i.e. His Aseity (independence), Eternity, Goodness, Graciousness, Holiness, immanence, the list goes on. God has a whole lot of reasons to be angry with us. (21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (Romans 1:23-25 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen).
The children of Israel felt the wrath of God, on their way to the land God promised them, when they responded poorly toward His method of deliverance (not only in speech but also in action. And YHWH, God, due to their lack of faith in Him (sounds like those who profess to be His children today) caused them to wander in the wilderness for forty years (an eleven-day journey) until all who opposed His word, will, and way were no more. (Joshua 5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord sware that he would not shew them the land, which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey).
Even though God was angry with them He still took care of them. It is with us today, as it was with the Israelites. We want the land of milk and honey, but we do not want to follow God; He gives us the directions and has provided the guide and protector. But we, because of ignorance and stupidity (wanting to have our cake and eat it too) seem to have an ongoing desire to do evil; we incur His wrath. Yet through it all He still wants to take care of us. All we have to do is love, honor, trust, believe, and worship Him only and when we call on Him, in all honesty, humble ourselves, repentance, and truly trust, Him, His wrath (anger) toward us will be lifted. (Psalm 30:5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning).
You see, our sole purpose in this life is to serve God with all our hearts, mind, body, and soul and in return His promise to us, He will keep and we will reap the rewards of life abundance and life eternal with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. God created man to bring Him glory, through his love and his service. But when you or I step out of our intended purpose and decide to do it our own way, it is as if we are saying I don’t believe, trust, nor need God; this would upset any parent who truly love His/her child(ren). Because His purpose, for you, is built on the foundation of love; working with all the good and righteousness found in Him. But with our anxious and immoral thoughts and intentions we want to live according to our way (which goes against God’s Word (Jesus), will, and way). And it is with this mindset, all your hopes are rerouted and connected or reconnected to the energy of the world, negating your belief in YHWH God and His Son, our Saviour, Yashuah, Jesus. And as the believer who has become an unbeliever and stepped back into the world, you set out on a course, not charted by the Holy Spirit, and your destiny becomes that of a child “of wrath.” This, as you may have noticed, causes all sorts of mayhem, malice, and mischief in your life. This display of disobedient and disrespect becomes the object of God’s wrath which is synonymous with His anger. (Numbers 14:22 21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. 22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:)
God has all the rights and reasons, He sees fit to have, to be upset and angry with man; for His creation in today’s world have morphed to a disobedient, mean, evil, greedy, and selfish people. They have gotten this way through, like the children of Israel, fear, and lack of faith; not calling on YHWH, God, in Yashuah, Jesus’ name, in their time of need or praising Him just because He is God, He is good, and His mercies and grace endures forever, but call on man who has limited power and no real authority to do anything; only what God allows him to do. (Ecclesiastes 8:8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it).
But God has an answer for those who refuses His wisdom through His word, will, and way; those who chooses darkness rather than light and constantly seek out ways to deceive. This behavior kindles God’s anger. But know this, that when you find yourself falling into this category, we can be sure that this is an indication of those who are going contrary to God’s Word, Jesus, he is coming or will come under judgment (feel His wrath) due to their acts (thoughts too). Before we accepted our Lord and Saviour, Christ, we all shared the same fate; being under a common judgment that exists upon us all. And His wrath will remain upon those who continues to flirt with God’s will. But when we commit to God, through Jesus, we are saved from His anger (wrath) by the Blood of Christ. (John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.) (Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath [of God] through him).
The complete stories in the Bible, brings us to the day when God will secure His righteousness on earth, as in heaven and deal with all evil fully, finally, and forever. For those who will follow His example, Jesus will take by the hands and lead them through this time (the day of wrath God’s Wrath), when God will institute reparation for every evil and bring to judgment every sin. God, because He is perfect in all He does and is, will do this in perfect justice. His wrath is done with full awareness of why He does it and how it is done. It is deliberate, decided with an open-minded, conscientious judgment, condemnation, and punishment. Unlike man’s so-called wisdom, whose emotional anger gets in the way and causes undue harm, God’s punishment for every sin will match the crime. God’s wrath is tethered to His Holiness. It reveals His holiness, envy, perfection, an intense hatred of rebellion, His righteousness, His justice, His power. It is not based on random choice or personal whim, but on His reason and system. Therefore, His wrath is righteous, and judgement is part of His perfection. So, all who know the truth in righteousness and those who understand unrighteousness will know of the things of God that He shows us to be true. For the Bible is the visible blueprint which He has given us to be clearly understood of all that are made, the eternal power He possesses and the Godhead so that we can walk circumspectly according to His Word (Jesus), will, and way. His Light of Love (JESUS) has been a constant beacon for us to follow in our life. And we have been given opportunities and chances to become a part of God’s family, yet most choose not to so, God will give you up to follow after the evil things of your heart. In the end, all will know Him, as He reveals Himself and deliberately judge them in the damnation of their soul; we are without excuse. (Ezekiel 35:11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee).
Romans 1:18-21 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
(Proverbs 15:1, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”) GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY, NO FEAR. AMEN.
