God is Righteous in His Wrath

Every single thing about our theology comes back to who our God is. Who is this God? 1) He reveals Himself to humanity and actively makes Himself known. 2) He is good and gives good gifts – even to those who persist in the ways of sin. 3) He is patient and forebearing, and He does not desire the death of the wicked. 4) He is the impartial Judge who is free from injustice. 5) His wrath is present, and it can be seen now – not just in the future. 6) He judges people by giving them over to sin without restraint, and then reap the consequences. 7) He still continues to show mercy, even to those who are under His judgment. 8) He still maintains a moral witness in our consciences, to tell us what is right and wrong. 9) He sees the real condition of our hearts – even our secret thoughts. 10) He is faithful and true! What is the hope that you cling to? Believe in this God that the Scriptures reveal to you, and rest in His Son Jesus for salvation and cleansing from your sins.
