In Romans 1 v 18,we read,'The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness'.One does not have to go far into the Bible ,to see God's wrath in action,(Genesis 6-7) Let us never forget that God is never neutral, when it comes to sin.be it in the unbelievers life or the Christians life. The Christians is covered by the shed blood of Christ,and he will be chastised when they sin, and of course forgiveness is given when their is repentance .The unbeliever has no such covering, so what awaits them is the wrath of God. How would one describe the wrath of God.John Stott says,'The wrath of God describes His revulsion against sin,He has a deep abhorrence of evil'.As we should , never make light of sin,every sin offends God,he does not categorise sin, they are all equally evil to God,there is no such thing as a venial sin,and a mortal sin, that is saying that some sins are really not very important. God will not overlook them.Read that verse again,'The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness,'See that word ,'All' ,there are no sins brushed unnder the mat.in Hebrews 4 v13 we read,'Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account'.He sees all the skeletons in the closet of our lives,one day everything will be laid bare before the unsaved and they will receive the just punishment they deserve.If you are not saved ,everyday that you live is drawing you closer to experiencing the wrath of almighty God.It doesn't have to be that way,if we but believe in the Lord Jesus we will be saved from God's wrath(Acts 16 v31)
'Come every soul by sin oppressed,
There's mercy with the Lord'.
