Since God\u2019s first concern for His universe is its moral health, that is, its holiness, whatever is contrary to this is necessarily under His eternal displeasure.

Every wrathful judgement of God in the history of the world has been a holy act of preservation.<\/p>\n
The holiness of God, the wrath of God and the health of the creation are inseparably united. Not only is it right for God to display anger against sin, but I find it impossible to understand how He could do otherwise.<\/p>\n
