What should we think of this embarrassing doctrine of
The Wrath of God?
By E.H.Jackson
What should we think of the embarrassing doctrine of the wrath of God?
Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Rom 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Rom 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
John 3:36 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.
Most people today are repulsed by the verses in the Bible, such as these few which I have cited, which speak of The wrath of God. The idea of an angry God, who is angry at people whom He has created and placed on this earth irritates them. Most who feel like this try to justify their irritation at the doctrine by saying such things as: "Such characteristics as anger are inconsistent with the idea of a holy and loving being". They feel that this could not be one of the Divine attributes, because God is better than that. This popular notion, has even taken a very strong position in the churches and various denominations of Christianity. They write the idea of a vengeful angry God off as some sort of concept that people had back in a primitive society, when men didn't know better. But now in our enlightened age, we no longer believe that kind of stuff, just like we no longer believe in demon possession, or in Satan. They will argue: "They had no medical explanation for mental illness and schizoid behavior back in Bible times so they attributed it to fanciful demons who haunted the night, and invaded peoples mind. Today we know better. The wrath of God doctrine was invented to explain natural disasters and phenomenon that happened to uneducated people. It explained things that seemed evil to them, like thunder bolts, volcanoes pouring lava out of the sky, meteor impacts, devastating floods and stuff like that, but now we know scientifically that these are just natural phenomenon, and not judgements from an angry God." The official position among many so-called Christian groups is that there is no such thing as the wrath of God. People ignore Gods laws, question God's word, are embarrassed by these wrath verses, and they feel that they have to spend hours explaining why a loving God would never judge their churches which ordain practicing homosexuals and women as there pastors, even though the Bible is clear and full of prohibitions against both things. I've heard them say: "We are free to ignore the Bible if we can explain it away based on exegesis and historical context". That is the official policy of much of so-called Christendom. "The Bible is good for lots of things, but it is just like any other book, it has a lot of erroneous human insertions and historical inaccuracies. But it is a good book, and Jesus was a great man who left the world a great religion which we dearly love, and use for our own self gratification. There's really no such things as salvation, because there is no need for it. There is no hell, so there is nothing to save men from. Church is about instilling love in peoples heart, and about bringing out the good that is in every human. It is about making society a better place to live. That's what the sermon on the Mount ins all about. We cultivate the peacemakers. That's what Jesus taught us. We stand up for injustice. That's why we are so embarrassed by this idea of the wrath of God. That just would not be fair to punish millions of people because two people ate an apple. That's not what the Bible teaches at all. Those are instructions on how to be good people, and have good society on earth, and how to take care of the environment. But they really don't teach us that God is in any sense a negative, hateful being who will torture people. That is absolutely ridiculous. We don't believe that. Jesus brought God's love into the world, not God's wrath."
There are others who will admit that the Bible does indeed have a clear teaching about the wrath of God. They will admit that you cannot deny that the teaching is there. It is very clear. But they despise the doctrine and hate him because of it. Since they hate God already, this doctrine just gives them even more reasons to hate Him. They fuel their own tempers and uncontrolled anger, while decrying His. "I will never serve a God or worship a being who treats people like that", a man told me to my face one day when I was doing evangelistic work. It was interesting, because I told the man, "when my God is ready for you to serve Him and worship Him, you will gladly bow your knees and will eagerly seek to serve Him!" He promptly said, "You'll never see that day!" So I told him I would pray for Him, which I did. Guess what? Within three weeks of that conversation the wicked man was saved and was stirring the waters in baptism. Had I agreed with Him, and not told him the truth about the wicked lie he was espousing, He would have never found the love of Christ, and the very wrath of God that He so abhorred would have fallen directly upon his head. It was the truth that set Him free, and it was the truth that caused His mind, heart and soul to do a 180 degree about face. God liberates men and gives them new birth when his word is honored and proclaimed. Don't forget it. It is the truth, and only the truth that sets men free, so don't hesitate to correct the false thinking in your hearers brains. God honors His word, and His own integrity, and His word always accomplishes that to which He sends it, and it never returns void.
Isa 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
The Bible is clear in all it's teachings. And there is nothing more clear than the fact that all men are filthy sinners, defiled and polluted. All men are under the wrath of God because of their nature in sin, and their continuous proclivity toward sin. Men deserve every bit of the Divine Wrath that He pours out. He remains angry with them, until they enter into the salvation which He obtained for them through Jesus Christ the only Savior. Men cannot produce the righteousness of God in themselves, and thus they have this great need for a salvation that comes from without themselves. This is a great proof for the wrath of God, but sadly even Christians feel that they have to make excuses for God, as though He were imperfect like themselves.
In most cases, when we have hatred, wrath, bitterness, anger, vindictiveness and we become violent in out temper it is the expression of our selfish, sinfulness; and it is a clearly sin. So we assume, and it is a ridiculous assumption, that God cannot have these kinds of things in Himself. We allow our thoughts to be anti-god and antichrist thoughts just like the world's thoughts, and we make some lame excuses for the imperfections that we feel are in God. This warped and twisted thinking stems from unbelief, and the failure to Let God be God. Incorrect thoughts about God are idolatry. False views of His character are blasphemy, and nothing less than an assault on His righteousness. He is who He says that He is. Christians never apologize for God, but always apologize to God, for thinking less of Him than they should think. Christians are people who have the mind of Christ, and that makes their thoughts conform to His. If your thoughts do not agree with God, than your thoughts are sin. Excise them from your head, and conform them to His, if you are a child of God. Never, never agree with the anti-god human viewpoint of the world; especially when that viewpoint attacks the veracity of God Himself.
So what then should we think of the embarrassing doctrine of the wrath of God?
1. We should agree with God, about this doctrine, and about all truth.
The doctrine of Divine wrath is not only not embarrassing, but it is an essential part of the Divine character. It is a revealed truth, revealed clearly in the Bible, and "Revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness" (Rom 1:18). There is absolutely no sound argument against this doctrine, and there are hundreds of sound arguments for it. It's time to quit agreeing with the worldview that hates God, and start agreeing with the Divine Viewpoint Itself. God loves Himself, and demands that all men love Him as well! Those who don't are the objects of His wrath.
2. We should quit struggling with the doctrine.
Quit making excuses for something that needs no explanation at all. There is nothing wrong with God, not now and not ever. Accept this, just like you accept the Love of God or any of His other perfect characteristics. God is The Unquestionable. God is The Perfection of All Perfections.
3. Men do not tell God what He is supposed to be! He tells us what He is.
We must embrace what He is, and what he says, without philosophical arguments, mental gymnastics or anything else. He is the All-Glorious. And His wrath is part of His Perfection, not some sort of defect in His character. God has no defects.
4. As Christians we should actually like and celebrate this awesome characteristic in our awesome God.
It is not a secret or dark mystery. It is a clearly revealed truth, and every believer needs to recognize it, and thank God that they are no longer under His wrath. We are no longer objects of His anger because of our unbelief and sinfulness. We have been saved from wrath.
Rom 5:8-9 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
We have been redeemed and His wrath has been propitiated through the Blood of our Savior. Through Christ a man can have peace with God and the wrath of the Almighty can, and will be, appeased. Christ "did not come to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved" (John 3:17)! If you do not rejoice in this, and are not thankful that He saved you from His horrible wrath, then you are not a child of His at all. All His saved ones, know and understand from what they have been saved, and they are forever grateful for it. In fact this is one of the primary reasons why He is wrathful in the first place. Because it makes us far more thankful and appreciative of His wonder works of salvation.
5. We should seek a correct and thorough understanding of this doctrine, because it explains many others, and brings Glory to God.
Vincent Cheung says this, and I could say it no better than he:
"God's wrath is directed at the non-Christians – he is angry with them and will do terrible
things to hurt them and torture them – because they have turned from the true God and
have invented alternatives for themselves. Although God is invisible, his creation is a
constant reminder of his power, his wisdom, and his divine nature. This testimony does
not point to just any kind of deity, but only to the Christian God, that is, the only God as
he has been revealed in the Christian faith. We know this because Paul does not accuse
sinners of failing to worship something, but of failing to worship the God that he worships,
and that is the Christian God, or God as presented in Christian theology. Thus
God has made himself plain to people, so that his power and his nature have been clearly
seen and understood.
The proper thing to do would be for men to admit what they know so as to acknowledge
this God and to worship him. This would mean admitting that God is the creator and the
ruler of creation, and that all men must obey his commandments. But because they are
evil, men hate God and do not want to admit the truth about God or to obey the
commands of God. So they deny reality and suppress the truth. They repress what they
know about God in their minds. To help them do this, they band together to invent
alternatives, and to focus their attention on other objects so as to worship them, and to
produce stories and explanations to lie to themselves, such as the myths of pagan
religions and the superstitions of science, so that they will not have to face the truth about
God that lingers under the surface of their immediate consciousness. Then, when
someone threatens to expose them, they become angry, hostile, and even violent.
God has testified about himself clearly, specifically, and effectively. He demonstrates his
power, his wisdom, and his divine nature in creation, and he has made this plain to the
minds of men. This means that there is no excuse for people to deny him or fail to
worship him. But they do deny him and fail to worship him. Theirs is a rebellion against
the obvious. Therefore God's wrath is unleashed against them.
Nevertheless, God's wrath is not a mere reaction to the rebellion of men, as if their
wickedness sprang from free will and then shaped God's thoughts and determined his
plans. In another place Paul writes that "in the wisdom of God the world through its
wisdom did not know him" (1 Corinthians 1:21). In other words, God planned the whole
thing. He testifies about himself through creation, and makes himself plain to the minds
of men, but by his own arrangement he ensures that no one would arrive at true religion
from his testimony in creation and in the human consciousness. He does this so that he
would plunge all men into sin, and render all of them guilty, so that he may rescue his
chosen ones to heaven and damn the reprobates to hell, and thus glorify himself through
his Son, Jesus Christ." (The wrath of God Revealed, in Sermonettes vol. 5 by Vincent Cheung)
Cheung is saying that God's wrath against sinners is no accident, it was planned by Him, so that both it, and the salvation from it in Christ, bring Him ultimate Glory. Cheung is right, because he agrees with God about this thing that men willfully find disagreeable. All Christians should think like this.
6. We should be zealous about preaching the gospel which brings men out from under the wrath of God.
Notice Paul's words in Romans 1:16 which words actually form the introduction to this important passage that explains Gods wrath. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek".
Just as we should not be ashamed of God, or ashamed of His wrath, so we should not be ashamed to declare His gospel of salvation from wrath through Christ. The wrath of God is the very thing that necessitates gospel preaching. There is no other power that can release men from the bondage of sin, and remove God's wrath from them, than the Gospel message. This message is of supreme importance to God and to me, if I am saved from wrath through it; and so it should be to everyone who calls themselves by the name of Christ. If there were ever a motive for evangelism, and if there were ever a verse that shows the need for powerful preachers of truth, this is it. Why on earth would you ever hesitate to declare the only message which can deliver men from hell? Don't do it. In fact, spend all your time, and devote all your effort to that task, because that's what Christ has commanded you to do. Get busy and start doing it. Carry that message far and wide, and never hesitate and never apologize. "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!" (Rom. 10:15).
Mar 16:15-16 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
