“Do not be deceived:
God cannot be mocked.
A man reaps what he sows.”
-Galatians 6:7
God’s wrath and his justice are part of his personality. The book of Nahum describes God’s wrath against Nineveh. It’s not very long (only 3 chapters) but packed with retribution and vengeance:
“The Lord is slow to anger and great in power;
the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm…
His wrath is poured out like fire;
the rocks are shattered before him.”
-From Nahum 1
Fortunately, God’s personality is multifaceted. He is a God of justice and wrath but also a God of Grace. Thanks be to God!
Peace,
