Is God’s wrath a myth?

Is God’s wrath a myth?

The Pastor of one of America’s largest churches said in a sermon, “God is way into you. Do you think there’s anything you can do to cause Him to stop loving you?” Statements like this can encourage and arm people. But it is incomplete. It exalts the virtues of the love of God but is void of the justice of God. It is written about Jesus, the original source of the love of God, that “…whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (John 3:36) Wrath of God? The phrase is uncomfortable. It does not fit the idea most people have of who Jesus is. We talk about the love of Jesus and the love of God, but the wrath of God?

Iwill never forgive him!” Have you ever said that about someone who deeply hurt you? When someone lies, abuses or uses you – it hurts. It causes emotional injuries that swell up into resentment, anger or bitterness. And what the person has done, makes them a “debtor”. Meaning, because of what they have done, they owe you something to try and make things right.
