The Wrath of God Part 2

And remember Isaiah 59:2 and 54:8 which explain that God's wrath is the 

hiding of His face caused by sin.  It is the terrible separation, caused by sin, which produces destruction according to the principles of Jeremiah 17:13 and 

James 1:13-15.

Another term employed in scripture to describe  wrath is the term HE 

SPARED NOT.  Consider 2 Peter 2 verses 4,5,6.

"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to 

hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto 

judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth 

person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the 

world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha 

into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an 

ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;" 2Peter 2:4,5,6.

We now come to a crucial point.  Jesus suffered the wrath of God for us.  

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we 

might be made the righteousness of God in him."2 Cor. 5:21

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can 

be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up 

for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"

Romans 8:31, 32

God spared not the angels who sinned.

God spared not the pre-flood world.

God spared not the cities of the plain: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim.

God spared not His Son!

"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we 

did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was 

wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: 

the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we 

are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every 

one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us 

all." Isaiah 53:4-6.

Now the critical question.

Will He spare us? Yes, but  only in Christ!

"Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we 

have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken 

by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a 

just recompence of reward; How shall we escape, if we neglect so great 

salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was

confirmed unto us by them that heard him;" Heb. 2:1-3
