D.A. CARSON – THE DOCTRINE OF THE WRATH OF GOD
This YouTube video sent to me recently by Joey Zorinsanga is well worth watching. I especially like Dr. Carson’s comment that it is important to begin by understanding what God’s wrath is NOT. God’s wrath is not “God losing his temper” and wrath is not an attribute of God’s character, certainly not in the same way that love is. We can say “God is love” but it would be wrong to say “God is wrath.” Nevertheless if we are properly to understand certain other attributes of God’s character, such as his holiness, we will finally need to come to terms with God’s wrath. I was personally challenged by Dr. Carson’s statement that God’s wrath has some “emotional content.” As always, we have much to learn from D.A. Carson. Enjoy!
