Wrath ( Romans 1 v 18 )

 We speak sometimes of living under a cloud, indicating that things are very difficult, but what would you say if I told you that from the moment we are born. (Romans I v 18 ,reads,)' The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness, and wickedness of  people , who suppress the truth  by their wickedness'. Consider the society we live , and the confusion as regards sex, and the  distortion as regards gender, and the  false religions, the oppressive political states , God does not look kindly on sin his wrath is revealed against it, In this verse we have the wrath of  God mentioned, many people don't like that term, my own minister is one of them .Unfortunately he has not on his own, they think a God who shows wrath is incompatible, with a God who is love. But God is also holy, in Habakkuk 1 v  13, we read that the Lords 'Eyes are too pure to look on evil, who cannot tolerate evil'.  When faced with the holiness of God, Isaiah the prophet cries out ,'Woe is me!'..... I am ruined'. We see plainly, right throughout the whole Bible, God's wrath being poured out, I said the whole Bible. Consider  Revelation 6 v 15ff where we have people  crying out in  terror, from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?'. Those who deny the truth of the wrath God are blind and foolish, such ministers will be held accountable, The gospel is God's answer to this truth, this wonderful gospel is the only hope of being saved from God's wrath. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's  wrath remains on them'. ( John 3 v 36 )
