1. What is the wrath of God?
God’s wrath is the precise, controlled, and punitive response to evil and sin.
When you are saved as a Christian:
• You are saved from the penalty of sin (justification)
• You are being saved from the power of sin (sanctification)
• You will be saved from the presence of sin (glorification)
Romans 1:18-20 NIV
