When God lashes out in anger, we Christians should be the first to say, “Yes, Lord, Your wrath is beyond justified. Your discipline is long overdue. We deserve everything You do to us and a whole lot more.” We love to sing about God’s grace on Sunday morning, and we whine incessantly about our troubles in an unfair world without ever considering that those troubles are DESERVED. What have any of us done to deserve a perfect Paradise? Who can claim that they have come anywhere close to giving God the reverence, honor, glory, and obedience that He deserves? Does a single hour go by that we don’t fall down miserably in all of these areas? Human beings are WITHOUT EXCUSE when it comes to God’s wrath. God’s wrath is the righteous, reasonable reaction to God being disrespected. It is because He is so good that His rage over being defied is so correct. No one can accuse God of being unreasonably angry. Unreasonable in mercy—absolutely. Unreasonable in grace, love, compassion, and patience—very much. But God is NEVER unreasonably angry. On this earth we will never come close to experiencing the fury that our treatment of God deserves. This is what makes Hell so fabulous.
