GOD'S ANGER.

God's anger is based on principle dictated by His right to exclusive devotion and his constancy in upholding truth, and governed by His love for righteousness.
Divine anger does not stem from a momentary whim, to be later regretted, instead it is slow because of his abundant love and kindness. God sees all the issues involved in a matter and has a complete and entire knowledge of a situation. He reads the heart, he notes the degree of ignorance, negligence or willful sin, and he acts with impartiality. He recognizes man's inherited imperfection and shows mercy to him on this account and on the basis of Jesus' sacrifice.
God's anger is always under control and in harmony with His attributes of love, wisdom, and justice. It is not futile. It is fully based on sufficient cause and always takes effect. He is not an angry God but a happy God, not unapproachable, but pleasant, peaceful and calm toward those who properly approach his presence.
God's anger is satisfied and quieted only by the application of His principles, that is when justice is fully carried out. God's wrath is against all unrighteousness. He will not tolerate unrighteousness nor exempt from punishment the action of an individual deserving it.
God's anger is provoked by false worship. It arouses by immorality, suppression of the Truth, lack of repentance, disobedience to the Good News, despising His Words, and mocking at His prophets, covetousness, injuriousness, envy, murder, strife, deceit, malicious disposition, those who are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, insolent ones, haughty, self-assuming, inventors of injurious things, disobedient to parents, false to agreements, merciless, spiritists, and liars.
God's anger may be expressed directly or indirectly. He may use His laws governing natural things, or He may use other persons as instruments to express His anger. Those who violate His moral laws are under His wrath and receive in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error. These suffer a disapproved mental state, degradation, diseases, strife and death.
When a person violates laws of the land that are in harmony with God's laws and is punished by the governmental authority, this is an indirect expression of God's wrath against that one.
Jesus Christ is the chief executioner of God's wrath and will completely express God's anger to fulfill His anger against the wicked.
