When God Gets Angry!

 

“That terrible day has come! God and the Lamb will show their anger, and who can face it?”

Revelation 6:17

Annoyed, upset and angry. That is usually the progression in humans. We have many annoyances in life. Every day there are plenty of things that are not the way we want them to be. If we are able, we fix those things that are not right. Then come the things that we can't fix and they cause us to be upset. Finally, there are the things that stubbornly refuse to be fixed and we become angry. Psalm 37:8 warns me that anger can lead to sin! So I work diligently to avoid becoming angry.

What about the anger of God? The anger of God does not lead to sin. God cannot sin, but He can be angry. Man's sin annoyed and upset God. Sin sets itself against the will of the Almighty. God "fixed" the problem of sin with the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross! But for those who refuse to be fixed by the Blood, there is the prospect of the anger of God.

Anyway you look at it, the anger of God is not nice. If you want to touch the hem of the garment of Hell, go to the dentist and tell him you want nothing to keep you from feeling the pain. For a short while you can "embrace the pain" and tell yourself how strong you are, but then the drill hits a nerve and you scream out and begin to writhe in the chair. In the dentist's chair when you scream he stops drilling, but in Hell your scream will not stop the pain. The bottom line is this: Hell is not a pretty picture.

There is only one place where God will never get angry at you. That place is in the arms of Jesus. When you let yourself be put completely under the Blood of Jesus Christ, there will be no Hell for you!

As with any child, the fear of the Father can play an important role in motivating obedience.
