The Day of God's Wrath

Romans 2:5 reads "But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.".

When we talk about God, there will always be a discussion about His appointed time for everything and we hear "in His time". However, this usually pertains to the fulfillment of our requests to Him. "in His time" you'll marry the best-fit partner to raise your own family. "in His time" you'll land on a perfect job that will support you financially. "in His time" all your troubles will be turned to blessings!

But God reserves a day for His wrath, i.e., a day when His strong vengeful anger, His retributory punishment for an offense will be executed. How can one be in that day? What characteristics should be cultivated to prepare one to be in the day of God's wrath? Here are two:


Stubbornness - unreasonably or perversely unyielding. A character wherein one always finds a justification in wrongdoings. Twists the truth to approve a misconduct.


Unrepentant - failing to perform all of the following

• acknowledging the wrongdoing
• asking God for forgiveness
• avoiding the mistake

God is a righteous God and He is fair and just. The offender might not be reaping the consequences of evil behavior today yet there is hope for every one affected by such: the day of God's wrath. Nevertheless, let's continually pray to God, that through His mercy, such offenders come to the understanding of God's love. So instead of suffering God's wrath later, they'll be with us enjoying God's blessing of salvation.
