The Expression of His Wrath!

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness...” Romans 1:18

How do we see His wrath expressed? It is revealed. When is the time? It is now. ▸ It was revealed in the garden.
▸ It was revealed in the flood.
▸ It was revealed in the driving of Pharaoh away.
▸ It was revealed in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
▸ It was revealed in the curse of the law on every transgression.
▸ It was revealed in the sacrificial system of the Mosaic law.
Rom. 8:22-23 - The whole creation groans and awaits God’s redemption.
▸ It is revealed in the cross.

God hates sin so much He poured out His wrath on His son. Why do wicked people seem to get away with sin? There is a payday for everyone, the longer God pulls back the bow - the deeper the arrow plunges when it hits.

It is not a matter of if, but when. God’s judgment is like the sand in an hour glass. The sand may drop slowly, but it drops surely. God’s patience is far greater than ours, and for that we should be grateful.
