God's wrath over me?
What everyone needs to understand about God is that he is infinitely holy, infinitely perfect and flawless, infinitely glorious and infinitely righteous so far beyond our human comprehension it is unfathomable. This means there is no flaw in him, there is no sin in him, there is no darkness or deceit in him, there is no evil or wickedness in him whatsoever, there is no unrighteousness or injustice in him, for he is the perfect judge and he judges righteously and fairly. So, since God is perfect and righteous, God must judge any and all sin, whether it is a little white lie, or whether it is murder. God must judge and punish all sin!
If he didn't punish all sin, if he let sin slide that wouldn't be righteous, and he wouldn't be God! All sin is sin (1 John 3:4) and it all is disobedience to the God who created you. God hates all sin with a burning hatred because it is contrary against his nature and personhood. Sin exalts itself above God and hates God and does what is wrong even when God has told it specifically not to do that which is wrong, sin will say let's do it anyway and disobey God. Sin is wicked, it's deceitful, it's evil, and its treason to the God who created you. What you don't know is that all sin (all sin) must be condemned before God, must be brought to justice, and must be punished before him. Which I explain fully below.
Anyone who does not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died on the cross to take the full punishment for their sins and who arose bodily from the grave, right now this very moment while you're reading this the wrath of God abides over them! (John 3:36). What does this mean exactly? And why does the wrath of God abide over those who do not believe in Jesus Christ as Savior you may ask?
Answers revealed below.
What this means is that if anyone were to die without Christ, if anyone were to die without accepting him the savior and only sacrifice for their sins on the cross, they would die in their sins unforgiven by God and they would perish in hell! Why you may ask? This is because their sins are not forgiven nor are, they taken away by God himself. For there is only one payment and there is only one perfect sacrifice that can take away sins "Jesus Christ is he who is the Lamb of God." Only one thing can be done by you dear reader for you to be forgiven of all your sins by God and be saved from him justly punishing you for breaking his laws. The answer is "place your Faith in Jesus to save you." Thanks be to Jesus Christ for he was our perfect sacrifice for our sins when he shed his perfect life’s blood for you and for me at the cross, he was our substitute that took the full wrath of God for us on himself on that cross in so that we won't have too when we meet He the Lord God on judgment day, because he Christ has took our punishment for us in full in so that we can be set free and be saved from God's wrath, and he was our payment unto God which was paid in full by him when he died on the cross for us and when He arose bodily from the grave! Faith in Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross for you and in his bodily resurrection is the only payment that God the Father will accept for your sin debt (for your law breaking), for He (Jesus) is our substitute, and perfect sacrifice that God will accept from you to be freed, saved, and forgiven, because he was the sinless one who died on the cross for you the sinner for your sins.
Let me explain this further in so that you understand what fully happens for the unbeliever and those who dare reject Christ. Since the unbeliever has not believed in Jesus Christ as Savior. What God is basically saying is this... Since you didn't accept my free gift of salvation which came through my one and only Son Jesus, since you didn't accept the only sacrifice acceptable unto me for the forgiveness of your sins which is My Son Jesus, you will be the sacrifice and you will perish for your arrogance, because of your unbelieving, ungrateful, unrepentant heart. Therefore this is the conclusion, since that person didn't accept the Savior and substitute for them which is Jesus, there is no substitute because they didn't accept him, thus God's punishment, God's wrath that fell upon Jesus for us, will fall righteously upon them where it righteously should have been in the first place. And they will be found guilty of sin on the day of judgment, and what's worse they are without the only payment for their sins, and thus they will be righteously punished for their sins as they deserve in hell since they didn't give God the only sufficient, acceptable, sacrifice and payment for their sins. And because of this they will perish. And all because they didn't believe and accept the substiute and Savior for them who is Jesus Christ who came to save sinners. This is why I have made a link called "human emergency" because mankind has no idea (no clue whatsoever) that the wrath of God abides over them this very moment because of their unforgiven sins in the sight of almighty God and ultimately because of their unbelief in the Savior Jesus Christ! Since all people are sinners, all people now need the one and only Savior Jesus Christ to save them. Thus, If anyone dies without sincerely having faith in the Savior, they will perish in hell for all of eternity for their unbelief in Jesus (John 8:24)(John 3:16-18)!
Let me put it this way in so that you can understand it even clearer. We are all sinners who break the Laws of God (the Ten Commandments). This is not my opinion; this is a fact. For proof of this in the Scriptures just read (Romans 3:23) (1 John 3:4). Therefore, there is a fine due unto God for your law breaking my people, a payment that must be paid in full to him, a perfect sacrifice that must be given to him for your disobedience to God who created you. And God is only accepting from you one payment that must be paid in full to him, and one perfect sacrifice for your sins. The bible says that Jesus Christ himself was our perfect sacrifice for us who shed his perfect life's blood for you and for me at the cross in so that his perfectly righteous life might replace our sinful lives. His perfect blood that was shed for you is your payment for your sins people of the world, and he himself is the perfect sacrifice that takes away your sins (John 1:29)(Hebrews 7:27)(1 John 2:2). Placing your faith in him (Jesus) is what grants you eternal salvation. Placing your faith in him is what makes you acceptable and pleasing unto God the Father.
Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God Which means he's the perfect sacrifice given unto us from God (the Father) for our sins.
He (Jesus) is the one that not only forgives us of our sins he also is the one who cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
He is the one who takes away our sins (John 1:29) and justifies us to God the Father through faith in him. In him alone is there salvation (Acts 4:12),
and God the Father is the one who gives eternal life to all men who will receive his Son Jesus Christ. Read (John 1:12) (1 John 5:11-13).
People of the world listen to me very closely, what you don't know is every human being is already (already) condemned (or guilty of sin before God) until they come to faith in Jesus. Because all of us have already sinned and we all have already broken God's perfect righteous law! This is why the scriptures say in John 3:18 "but he that believeth not is condemned already", this is true because we are already condemned for our sins, (this means we are already guilty before God for breaking his law, and we should have already been punished for our sins by almighty God), but the only reason (the only reason) why we haven't been punished immediately as our sins righteously deserve is because of God's gracious grace, his kindness, his love towards mankind to give you time to repent and turn back to him and his Son Jesus.
This is what 2 Peter 3:9 says and exclaims. Let's read this together below.
2 Peter 3:9 (NLT)
9The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise to return, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake.
He does not want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time for everyone to repent.
It just doesn't get any plainer and clearer than that.
What you don't understand is this, "The moment that you and I sin, what ought to (what should happen) immediately (instantaneously) to us is death (Romans 6:23). But the only reason why that doesn't happen is not because God looked the other way and didn't see your sin (Please do not deceive yourselves nothing could be further from the truth. For God is God who see's and knows all things about all things), the only reason why you have not died yet is because God wants none to perish in sin and go to hell! God does not want you to face his wrath for your sins, but rather he desires he (God) wants all to repent by placing their faith in his Son Jesus Christ in so that they (us) may be saved. God loves humanity so much he wants everyone to be saved. God does not (does not want anyone to perish) but he wants (he desires) to grant graciously this free gift of everlasting life to all those that receive his Son Jesus Christ." Read (2 Peter 3:9) (Romans 2:4) (John 3:16) (John 1:12)(Ezekiel 18:32).
This is why the scriptures say, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
God wants to give you a free gift. God wants to give you something you don't deserve. Which is his loving kindness and mercy. God has given you his best gift, God has given you his best possession, he has given you his very own Son Jesus the Christ. God did not have 12 or 13 children in heaven he had only one and he gave him up for you, in so that you can be forgiven of your sins and be saved by him and through him (who is Jesus his Son). God's desire is to give you everlasting life through Christ Jesus His Son.
God wants everyone to come to a knowledge of the truth, which is to receive and to believe in his Son the very one whom he has anointed and sent into the world to be our one and only Savior. (1 Timothy 2:4-6)(John 3:16-18)(John 6:28-29)(1 John 5:11-13)
John 3:16-18
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Romans 2:5
5But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself
for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
This Scripture (as all Scripture) is so important so let me explain this revelation to you in so that you will understand it, but for your own study and growth in the faith study the book of Romans thoroughly. Read Romans chapter 2, but right now let's look at this verse (Romans 2:5), the above Scripture that's posted and displayed for you. This Scripture means, because of men's unrepentant hearts, thus unbelief in Jesus (which is a direct command and demand of God), what they are doing is this "Every time that they break God's law (every time that they sin) they are storing up wrath on themselves that is waiting to fall upon them on the day of judgment. Which on that day, when they meet God face to face, they will be found guilty of sin without the proper payment for them, and they will be one who is found guilty of not placing their faith in his Son Jesus to save them, and because of this their sins will not be forgiven for they have not given God the only acceptable payment and sacrifice for their sins. Thus, God's wrath will come upon them because of their unbelief in His Son. God's wrath and fury will come upon them as they righteously deserve. Wrath that is that will come upon them from God, for their unbelief in Jesus his Son who is the Savior who came to save them, but they received him not!" Now you will understand people of the world when the Scriptures say Jesus is your Savior and substitute because he is! Those who are of the truth will put their faith in Jesus God's Son. Remember these words people of the world "He Jesus took the wrath from God the Father on the cross for your sins in so that you and I won't have too when you meet, He the Lord God on judgment day!" And all you must do to be forgiven by God for all your sins, all you must do to be saved by him is to believe in Jesus shed his blood for you at that cross. To be saved you must believe in Jesus' death, burial, and bodily resurrection.
