Wrath Of God Quotes

“The bow of God's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string, and justice bends the arrow at your heart, and strains the bow, and it is nothing but the mere pleasure of God, and that of an angry God, without any promise or obligation at all, that keeps the arrow one moment from being made drunk with your blood.”
― Jonathan Edwards, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

“I wanted to be JUSTICE, LOVE, and the WRATH OF GOD all in one.”
― Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

“In reality, the damned are in the same place as the saved—in reality! But they hate it; it is their Hell. The saved love it, and it is their Heaven. It is like two people sitting side by side at an opera or a rock concert: the very thing that is Heaven to one is Hell to the other. Dostoyevski says, 'We are all in paradise, but we won’t see it'…Hell is not literally the 'wrath of God.' The love of God is an objective fact; the 'wrath of God' is a human projection of our own wrath upon God, as the Lady Julian saw—a disastrous misinterpretation of God’s love as wrath. God really says to all His creatures, 'I know you and I love you' but they hear Him saying, 'I never knew you; depart from me.' It is like angry children misinterpreting their loving parents’ affectionate advances as threats. They project their own hate onto their parents’ love and experience love as an enemy—which it is: an enemy to their egotistic defenses against joy…

Since God is love, since love is the essence of the divine life, the consequence of loss of this life is loss of love...Though the damned do not love God, God loves them, and this is their torture. The very fires of Hell are made of the love of God! Love received by one who only wants to hate and fight thwarts his deepest want and is therefore torture. If God could stop loving the damned, Hell would cease to be pure torture. If the sun could stop shining, lovers of the dark would no longer be tortured by it. But the sun could sooner cease to shine than God cease to be God...The lovelessness of the damned blinds them to the light of glory in which they stand, the glory of God’s fire. God is in the fire that to them is Hell. God is in Hell ('If I make my bed in Hell, Thou art there' [Ps 139:8]) but the damned do not know Him.”
― Peter Kreeft, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Heaven: But Never Dreamed of Asking

“The wrath of God is never an evil wrath. God gets angry because he loves people like a mother would love her child if someone were to harm it. There is something wrong if the mother never gets angry; it is safe to say that that is the unloving mother.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“Initially, the God of the Old Testament might seem overwhelming and domineering to you, or tyrannical, or perhaps even evil, which is good. It is the first telling that God is indeed God, by sheer definition, and not some ear-tickling fairy by which one in his depravity is guaranteed to find another form of stale romanticism or love at first sight. For such a first impression as the latter would be problematic to the essence of Christianity. Therefore the Christians are right in saying that the nature of imperfect men cannot ultimately co-exist with the nature of a perfect God; and that the hope of each man is now desperately found in God's sending of Christ.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“People debate over whether or not there is a literal Hell, in the literal sense often described as fire and eternal torture, which, to many, seems to be too harsh a punishment. If men really want to fear something, they should be fearing separation from God, the supposedly more comforting alternative to a literal Hell. For separation from the authorship of love, mercy, and goodness is the ultimate torture. If you think a literal Hell sounds too bad, you are very much underestimating the pain of being absolutely, wholly separated from the goodness while exposed to the reality of the holiness of God.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

“Buck Barrow, brother of Clyde Barrow (Bonnie & Clyde) was once asked "Where are you wanted by the law?" Barrow replied, "Wherever I've been." What a picture of our own guilt. We cannot escape our sinfulness because it follows us everywhere. Neither can we escape the mercy of God that is always there.”
― William Branks

“When the LORD leaves us to captain our lives, giving us over to our reprobate mind, it is a clear sign of judgment. No more can we witness the protective hand of the LORD. All that we should remember is that we have unquenchable wrath ready to consume our being. The LORD is a gentle shepherd, at the same time, He is also the worst enemy.”
― Royal Raj S

“God's judgment is not like man's judgment. It is not a suspension of His Love but an extension of His Love. His justice is always righteous, so His judgment is always Love.”
― Criss Jami, Healology

“Brethren, take note of this, as long as the LORD disciplines you, you are on a safer side. If you are not disciplined by the LORD, be afraid! The only possibility is that the LORD would have left you to command your own ship which is ultimately going to wreck. (Hebrews 12: 5 to 11)”
― Royal Raj S

“I do not understand, but also understand.”
― Arash Shafihie

“Could it be that God is so intensely personal that He would burn down your world in hopes of building it back?”
― Matt Chandler

“I feel like the wrath of God. You like that boy, don't you? I love him, Tom.”
― Clifford Odets, Golden Boy

“God's wrath, properly, is an aspect of his love: it is because God loves human beings with a steady, unquenchable passion that he hated Apartheid, that he hates torture and cluster bombs, that he loathes slavery, that his wrath is relentless against the rich who oppress the poor. If God was not wrathful against these and so many other distortions of our human vocation, he is not loving. And it is his love, determining to deal with that nasty, insidious, vicious, soul-destroying evil, that causes him to send his only, special son.”
― N.T. Wright, Lent for Everyone: Mark Year B

“. . . the love of God in our culture has been purged of anything that culture finds uncomfortable. The love of God has been sanitized, democratized, and above all, sentimentalized. . . . Today most people seem to have little difficulty believing in the love of God; they have far more difficultly believing in the justice of God, the wrath of God and the non-contradictory truthfulness of an omniscient God. "The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God”
― D. A. Carson

“A cross with a bent tip that's the Facebook logo
New religion, clouds drip Grapefruit Yoko Ono

A clown wears the crown for years and we celebrate
Rule of law turned upside down, we tolerate

I no longer know, where we headed on this path
Pen my words, just forget it, waiting on the crash

Documenting life, I am Mr Werner Herzog
’72 Aguirre, this is the wrath of God”
― Soroosh Shahrivar, Letter 19

“Brethren, be mindful of the truth that the deliberate act of sinning, will eventually take us to the point of no return and that is the tragedy of all. Hardened and stiff-necked in sin, we grow cold to all rebuke and discipline. The gentle whisper of the LORD will be gone. The repeated grieving of the Spirit will result in the quenching of the Spirit. Therefore, any desire to seek the Father’s Home is lost! Beware!! Watch your steps!!!”
― Royal Raj S

“Either let the LORD decide how you should live or you decide how you should live. The humble and penitent sinner will choose the former, while the proud rebellious sinner will choose the latter and in both instances, the good point is that the LORD will honor your choice!”
― Royal Raj S

“There is no partiality with the LORD, He pays you back in your own coin! The LORD is smarter than you can barely imagine and He catches the ‘wise’ in their own craftiness. Stop playing your game with Him! Or else it’ll be ‘game over.”
― Royal Raj S

“If God is against us, who can be for us? The LORD is the best friend and at the same time, the worst enemy.”
― Royal Raj S

“Apostle Paul while writing to the Corinthian church in the context of idolatry asks this rhetorical question, “Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?” (I Corinthians 10: 22, ESV). Israel experimented and found the answer. But by that time, they have already ruined their lives. Don’t we dare to follow Israel’s footsteps! Either learn the lesson here or else, the LORD will teach you.”
― Royal Raj S

“The same LORD who is the gentle Shepherd is also the LORD who is a brutal predator.”
― Royal Raj S

“How can a sane man go against the LORD? whose gentleness is described like this, “I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them” (Hosea 11: 4, ESV). Tragically, hard-hearted, close-eared, blind-eyed, dumb-mouthed, stiff-necked people are still there acting ‘smart,’ not knowing that their end is near.”
― Royal Raj S

“The LORD of Hosts isn’t a butler who is at your ‘on-call' service!”
― Royal Raj S

“Jesus Christ was offered as God's wrath removing sacrifice. If not for this God sent Redeemer, the sinner will be God's wrath inviting sacrifice”
― Royal Raj S

“The Lord of Hosts isn't a ‘yes-man’ to all that we do. Let’s be cautious lest we dig our own graves!”
― Royal Raj S

“I fear the ire of men over the wrath of gods”
― J.R. Potts, Pennyrile Mint

“Upon A Stormy Night by Stewart Stafford

Lay that downy head beneath a roof,
Lest the lightning sear those temples,
As the lamb hears the hewing blade,
We sense when the last hour arrives.

Testing thunder of the scolding deities,
A gallows silence rings in every dimple.
Rain, sobbing, weeping for humankind,
with no potent hand to dry damp eyes.

The upturned night's rage passes on,
Sprightly dawn cracks a guardian eye,
Cowed people check the gashed skies,
Grins, not marked by a storm's blemish.
