Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress
the truth.
Many in churches today proclaim that man is
basically good and announce to the world that God loves them unconditionally.
They are suppressing the very truth that Paul reveals in this passage about the
wrath of God. While God is love and his grace and mercy abound in many ways to
the human race, His anger and wrath against human unrighteousness and sin is
revealed clearly in Holy Scripture. John the Baptist did not announce the
coming of the Kingdom of God by telling people to continue on unchanged because
God loves them unconditionally. No, he told them to repent for the forgiveness
of sins. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ sinners can experience
the redeeming love and mercy of God.
Without this faith they will experience the wrath of God.
Through regeneration and faith in Christ the Holy Spirit indwells believers and
the truths of Scripture are accepted and no longer suppressed.
