God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day.

The wrath of God is a fearsome and terrifying thing. Only those who have been covered by the blood of the Messiah, shed for us on the cross, can be assured that God’s wrath will never fall on them. “Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him!” (Romans 5:9).

Good news: Jesus can be described as ‘the deliverer from the wrath to come’ (1 Thes. 1:10); and Paul can write: ‘Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God’ (Rom. 5:9). On the other hand, the wrath of God remains upon all who, seeking to thwart God’s redemptive purpose, are disobedient to God’s Son, through whom alone such justification is rendered possible.
