We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God's wrath is not the outworking of impersonal laws of retribution which are built into the structure of reality, but the response of a righteous God to man's adamant refusal to accept His love. The Greek word refers to anger which is passionate and vehement.
