Invitation to an Execution
Judgment
Wrath and Love
Bibliotheca Sacra Volume 156 (God’s Love and God’s Wrath)
Our problem in part is that in human experience wrath and love normally abide in mutually exclusive compartments.
Love drives wrath out, or wrath drives love out.
We come closest to bringing them together, perhaps, in our responses to a wayward act by one of our children, but normally we do not think that a wrathful person is loving.But this is not the way it is with God.
God’s wrath is not an implacable blind rage.
However emotional it may be, it is an entirely reasonable and willed response to offenses against His holiness.
At the same time His love wells up amidst His perfections and is not generated by the loveliness of the loved.
Thus there is nothing intrinsically impossible about wrath and love being directed toward the same individual or people at once.
God in His perfections must be wrathful against His rebel image-bearers, for they have offended Him; God in His perfections must be loving toward His rebel image-bearers, for He is that kind of God.
