Most of us know God as a God of love who has always brought us comfort, joy, and peace in the times of our most dire afflictions. Yet, there is another side of our almighty God that many have ignored. They have ignored or attempted to explain away the wrath of our almighty God. As we approach even closer to the end, it’s essential that we understand and accept the truth concerning the wrath of God. Although the Bible says that God is love (I John 4:8), it also says that He is a God of wrath where His wrath is reveled from heaven (Romans 1:18). In an age of tolerance and lukewarm Christianity the wrath of God is fiercely rejected as “fire and brimstone preaching” that has no place in America. Yet, it is America that needs it most as it sinks deeper and deeper into the pit of gross immorality and ungodliness. As her sins increase, so does the intensity of God’s righteous wrath being poured out on an unrepentant people. God’s attitude to sin is righteous wrath. Let’s dig a little bit deeper and understand the true nature of God’s wrath, while He remains the God of love and mercy.
The Bible says, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness” (Romans 1:18). “Who hold the truth in unrighteousness” is to suppress the truth, ignore it, or not listen to it. The truth is that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all sin of both the mind and the body. The truth is, it demonstrates God’s active involvement in every sin committed. We live in a day when most lukewarm Christians suppress the truth because they are only focused on the blessings of their new life in Christ, with all the beautiful blessings promised by their Father in heaven. They ignore the law that has been written on their hearts by way of the Gospel and the indwelling Spirit, or they only obey the commandments that seem more comfortable. They suppress the weightier parts of the law as if they never existed. They ignore the Spirit who was sent to show them how to put off the old life filled with all manner of unrighteousness. Yet, the Bible says expressly to put off the old life, stop sinning, put on the new life in Christ, and to walk in righteousness every day (Ephesians 4:17-32). When we do, then we will not receive the wrath of God because we have not suppressed the truth.
Here is the tragedy today: most believers and unbelievers don’t believe that God will hold them accountable for their sins. Yet, the Bible says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7). There are consequences for every sin or trespass against God’s Holy Law. Furthermore, many believe that God’s wrath is only eschatological, not realizing that God’s wrath is currently being revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness and ungodliness. If this were aggressively taught, then the people would understand why they are having so many difficulties in their lives. God is not asleep at the wheel. He knows of every sin committed and will act accordingly. Make no mistake, the revealing of God’s wrath from heaven goes hand in hand with the revealing of His righteousness from heaven in the Gospel (Romans 1:17). The beautiful Gospel that makes us into a brand-new creation through faith, which will allow us to be transformed into the perfect image of His only begotten Son. As a loving Father, He also reveals His wrath from heaven to keep us on the straight and narrow path by also revealing the trespass to us through the indwelling Spirit.
Unfortunately, we are now living in a world full of unrighteousness and ungodliness that’s getting worse by the day. As ungodliness and unrighteousness increase in the world, so does the wrath of God increase and intensify. This is happening now, even as the immoral hide behind closed doors. This is happening now, even when most lukewarm Christians openly confess their tolerance for one another, even if they vehemently disagree with the only Gospel by proclaiming another. This is happening now, even when the world leaders believe they can bring peace among all nations by accepting every world religion as equal to classic Christianity. This is happening now, even when the government has openly accepted a small sliver of Christian morality. God sees the increase in sin. He sees the pride, the arrogance, and the secret perversions. This increase in sin is now profoundly affecting the entire physical world. For the first time in history, we are seeing all the trumpets, the woes, and the bowls of God’s wrath being poured out on the entire world as prophesied during the Great Tribulation. Sin has increased so much that we are beginning to see the glimmer of the first and second beast from the book of Revelation. As this happens, the wrath of all mighty God is beginning to intensify.
We have all seen and felt the increase in plagues and woes as they are descending upon planet Earth. Earthquakes are getting worse, fires are scorching whole cities, hurricanes and hailstorms are becoming more numerous and deadly. Pandemics are becoming increasingly common as they sweep the entire planet, bringing death to thousands upon thousands. Every year, the sun feels hotter as it scorches humanity, giving us thoughts of when it will prophetically set the entire world on fire. The Bible says, “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up” (II Peter 3:10). Although peace is sought among all nations with increased trade and promises made, it will never nullify the old prophecies about Armageddon and the coming nuclear holocaust. God’s Holy wrath will continue unabated to the final day for all of humanity to experience the consequences of its sins. Yes, God’s Wrath will intensify as the sins of humanity increase every hour. It’s like a runaway train headed for certain disaster with no one to stop it. The good news is we may not be able to stop it, but we can, with God’s grace, slow it down. It’s time for the faithful remnant to step up to the plate and do what they have been called to do, to preach the Gospel with the truth about God’s wrath intensifying now, based upon all the increasing sin in the world.
We need to preach or teach the Gospel without honey coating their sins. Their unrighteousness and their ungodliness are causing all of their problems, as it adds to the sins in the world that are reaping their horrific consequences. We must preach the whole Gospel that will lead each person to repentance and faith in Christ to make them into a new creation by putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ. As the world is running out of time, we use every day to help another believer in Christ become a true disciple. We teach them how to keep in step with the Spirit. We teach them how to listen to the still small voice of God by turning off their cellphone and saying goodbye to social media. We must teach them now, or it will be too late. Time is running out. We teach them to accept the discipline of the Lord by repenting of their newly discovered sin and putting in place of it the new ways of Christ. Every day, we are allowing the Spirit to knock off the barnacles of the old sin nature. Every day, we are allowing the Spirit to teach us a new and glorious way to walk in Christ. As we rejoice together, we learn to stand firm even as the whole world is falling apart. We are witnessing the intensifying wrath of almighty God. We are witnesses.
The Gospel Presentation
We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, which explains the many difficulties that you are currently facing in your life. Well, I have good news, God has solved that problem by sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was born of a virgin to show us the way to a beautiful new life in Christ. God has dealt with all of our sins past, present, and future by having His son pay the debt for our sins. Jesus Christ willingly went to the Cross in our stead by allowing all of the world’s sins to be placed upon Him as a sacrificial Lamb. As Christ hung on the Cross, the wrath of God was poured out on Him to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus Christ died on the Cross and was buried for three days. On the third day, Christ arose from death to life everlasting. The good news is if we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, then we will be forgiven for all of our sins and receive the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will lead us into all truth helping us in the transformation process of putting off the old life, allowing the old sin nature to die with Christ, and then putting on our new life in Christ by being raised with Christ to everlasting life. You can accept Christ today by confessing your sins to Him through a simple prayer asking Him to forgive you and make you into a new creation filled with the Holy Spirit. If you have done that, then you have just begun the greatest journey of your life that leads to heaven and eternal life. Welcome to the Kingdom.
