THE WRATH OF GOD
The wrath of God is a much misunderstood subject.
It is a
function of God’s holy character and expresses itself through
judgement.
EPHESIANS 5:5
For this you know, that no
whoremonger (the sexually immoral), nor unclean
(impure) person, nor covetous (greedy) man, who is an
idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ
and of God.
(Paul is speaking here to Believers, thus
showing that Believers can forfeit their salvation through
sin bringing them to a position of unbelief - and there is
therefore no such thing as unconditional eternal security.)
EPHESIANS 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain
words: for because of these things comes the wrath of
God upon the children of disobedience.
One subject within scripture which is often neglected today is
“the wrath of God.”
This phrase generally refers to the punishment
of God - God’s righteous judgement upon sinners.
As we know, God
is not only a God of great mercy, He is also a God of justice, and He
will always fulfill His Word.
Therefore those who engage in sin,
remaining in a state of sin, will fall under God’s judgement, His
righteous wrath.
God’s wrath is defined by Jack Hayford as follows:
“WRATH - the personal manifestation of God’s holy, moral
character in exacting just judgement against sin.
Wrath is neither an
impersonal process nor is it irrational and fitful like anger.
It is in no
way vindictive or malicious.
It is holy indignation - God’s anger
directed against sin because of its destructive power and the havoc it
wreaks in ruining His benevolent intent for man.
God’s wrath is an expression of His holy love.
If God were
incapable of wrath, His love would be no more than a frail, maudlin
sentimentality; the concept of mercy would be meaningless; and the
Cross would have been a cruel and unnecessary expense exacted of
His Son.
The Bible reveals that all humankind is “by nature children of
wrath” (Ephesians 2:3) and that “the wrath of God is revealed from
1
heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18).
Thus, all
people - either by nature or calculated enterprise - have earned
judgement for sin.
But there is promise, since Christ died.
We can be
“justified by His blood (and) be saved from wrath through Him”
(Romans 5:9).
