The
word of judgment is not an easy word to speak, yet it must be spoken
in every generation. It was spoken by the Old Testament prophets (Jeremiah 25:15). It was spoken by the New Testament apostles (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
The wrath of God is part of the message which is to be proclaimed by
those who are faithful to God. When God speaks of His wrath, He “rebukes
the arrogant who are cursed” (Psalm 119:21). There are those who “stray from God’s commands” (Psalm 119:21),
but we must commit ourselves to Him - “I will obey Your Word ... Your
servant will meditate on Your decrees. Your statutes are my delight;
they are my counsellors” (Psalm 119:17,23-24).
