The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. -Romans 1:18 BSB
The meaning of God’s wrath is righteous anger against the sins of mankind for rejecting to obey God’s good and righteous laws, in place of living out their sinful pleasures.
God has a limit to how much sin men can produce in their life until God’s judgment falls upon them. Humanity is running out of time.
In Genesis 15:15-16, we see God speaking to Abraham concerning his death (dying in peace) and the sins of the people of Canaan reaching their limit, inviting the wrath of God to fall upon them.
15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age. 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete. -Genesis 15:15-16 BSB
We are in a time of depravity when anything goes, and there seems to be no restraint to the thoughts of men, which are evil all the time.
The Great Tribulation, (i.e., the wrath of God), is a time unparalleled to any disaster that has ever occurred since the world was created. It will be so bad that the Scripture describes it this way, “25 There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves. 26 Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” -Luke 21:25-26 BSB
Those who will stay behind after the rapture and go through the wrath of God are the ones who rejected God’s Word, and if they receive the mark of the beast, they will end up in the Lake of Fire forever and ever.
Don’t fall into the hands of the Living God in judgment, you won’t escape. Give your life to Jesus Christ today and avoid the Great Tribulation and Hell.
3 Yet not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he was a Greek. -Galatians 2:3 BSB
This verse gives us the reason why Paul wanted to go back to Jerusalem to speak with “those recognized as leaders” (verse 2). False believers were trying to get genuine believers to go back to the Law like keeping circumcision, which is fulfilled in Christ, who is the One who sets us apart by giving us the Holy Spirit when one puts their faith in Him. See below.
No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God. -Romans 2:29 BSB
2 For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. -Romans 8:2-3 BSB
Jesus Christ kept the Law for us and fulfilled it, but if a believer wants to go back to the Law to keep it, he or she will end up rejecting Jesus’ atoning sacrifice for their sins. The Law instituted animal sacrifice on behalf of the people for their sins, which pointed to the future fulfillment sacrifice of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, on the cross. If we go back to the Law, it’s to say that we have rejected the fulfillment seen in Christ as our sacrificial Lamb for all of our sins.
You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. -Galatians 5:4 BSB
