There’s a temptation to shy away from the wrath of God—treating it like a blemish on His character instead of a reflection of His perfect justice. Some try to explain it away, acting as if it’s a misprint or something that doesn’t fit in the modern world. But that’s not reverence—that’s pride. It's upside down to sit in judgment of God's judgment, as though human reasoning could ever measure up to divine holiness. Heaven doesn't hesitate. Heaven sees clearly and cries out, “You are just. You are true.” That’s worship.
Instead of avoiding the hard truths, the Church must embrace the full picture of who God is. He is not just loving—He is righteous. His wrath is not something to be embarrassed by but something that proves His purity and His intolerance of evil.
