Many people think of God's wrath as something that is bad. Something that shouldn't happen from an all loving God. The matter of the fact is, if He is an all-loving God, why wouldn't he pour his wrath on our sinful nature?
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness supress the truth." (1:18).
Unrighteous people supress, or hide, the truths that they know. It is stated that if one is not following God, they will be hesitant in the opportunities given to them to proclaim the gospel. The wrath of God is justified. He died for our sins, took the penalty for our transgressions, taking pain that we could never imagine, and we still hide the amazing hope that He gives us?
How can we prove that it is real other than the bible?
"For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. so they are without excuse." (1:20).
God can be proved because of the power and strength that He has over the people. People believe that there is a God, and still reject Him because of their own selfish and sinful natures.
God can be proven through creations perfection and intricacy. The Human Body, processes of the ocean, animals...so many things prove that God exists. There is no way that something this beautiful and ornate could ever exist without a perfect creator to mold it into what it is.

God is Real. God is Perfect. His creation is Perfect. Our sinful Nature took over. God is still perfect. His plan and judgement is justified. He gave us life. He could have given us Death. He gave us a second chance. His wrath is justified.

Dear Lord,
In my transgressions against you, I ask with my whole heart to seek your forgiveness. God, you are the molder of the universe and Lord of my life. Sometimes I fall into the trap of things that seem important but in the end hurt my relationship with you. God, please make these known to me. I want to glorify You in all that I do.
