When we hear the word wrath, we tend to think of road rage or a parent venting their anger on a disobedient child. But God's ways are not ours, and His wrath is not the outburst of someone who can't control their impulses. Instead, God's wrath is the right reaction to sin and the just consequence for rebellion. Since the fall in the garden, man has wanted to become God and remove the Creator/creation distinction. The right response to sin is God's proportional, just wrath. Although the idea of a wrathful God may cause us to recoil and find difficulty reconciling this truth with His love, we must recognize that because God is holy, sovereign, just, and good He must be wrathful against sin. If there were no consequences for sin, evil-doers would go unpunished and justice would be a mockery. So we recognize God's wrath as an attribute for which He should be praised, and we marvel at God's goodness displayed at the cross where God put His Son under His just wrath so that we might be freed from the consequences for our sin.
