II. The purity of God’s wrath

F.

A. God’s wrath is not like man’s wrath

When man gets angry it is mostly because we are offended and our pride gets in the way. Even when we are anger is right, it is tainted with our sinful nature.

His anger is related to His holiness which cannot tolerate sin

Romans

Romans 2:5 KJV 1900

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

Ps

Psalm 7:12–13 KJV 1900

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

IV. The object of God’s Wrath

Romans 1:18 KJV 1900

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

A.

A. His wrath is against sin. It is not uncontrolled fury like someone who is out to seek revenge, but it is pointed with a purpose at those who are unrighteous and ungodly.

ungodliness is those whose relationship with God is broken because of sin.

Adam and Eve where the first to break this relationship, they wanted to rule their own lives, they wanted to be their own god.

The ungodliness of unbelievers is seen in their attitude towards God

mocking, using God’s name in vain

lack of reverence and worship towards God which leads idolitary.

A.

God has provide every man and woman the ability to know God, it is manifested in us…My testemony I knew their was a God...

The problem is man has rejected their Creator Romans 1:21

VI. Our attitude towards His wrath.

A. Know that judgement is coming

Hebrews 9:27 KJV 1900

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

i. Believe it if you never trusted in Christ then you need to.

B. Christian need to live like they believe it.

Romans 6:1 KJV 1900

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

C. We need to tell others judgement is coming?

Is that not why the Gospel is all about?

Is that not why Jesus came and died on the cross? To save us from the judgement to come?

John 3:36 KJV 1900

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

John 3:

Is that not why Jesus has sent to go and preach?
