Does God's Character and Nature Include Wrath?

It's so very common in man made religion to hear people speak only of God's love and grace; forgetting the fact that grace is the holding back of God's wrath and love is the giving of grace.  Just as a point to remind people of this, let's take a look in God's Word to see what happened (will happen) to those who sin against Him and are not repentant.

Below are verses showing us thousands of people whose lives were taken from them by God.

FUTURE OF UNBELIEVERS (Revelation)

As you see in the Old Testament, death was an immediate judgment and coming into the New Testament through Jesus Christ who fulfilled the old, we see God's grace through His Son to offer eternal life to those who repent, (Luke 13:3) become a new creation/born again (1 Corinthians 5/John 3:3) and follow after Jesus (the Word John 1) in obedience (Hebrews 5:9).  That is the grace of God, given to mankind from His love for us.  Each person will be accountable before the God of the universe in whether he/she followed faithfully after His son Jesus Christ  (for eternal life) or rejected Him and instead lived for their own lives (for eternal damnation.)

If you are claiming to be a follower of Jesus Christ we strongly encourage you to test yourself (2 Corinthians 13:5) to see if you are truly in the faith, CLICK HERE to test your religious body and if you have been taught the truth as God's Word says to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21)  If you do not know the gospel good news and how to find eternal life, please click HERE.
