“Do you wish to see God’s love?
Look at the Cross.
Do you wish to see God’s wrath?
Look at the Cross.”

-D.A. Carson
 
God is not just a God of love or a God of wrath. He is both, and if your concept of God can’t include both, it will distort your view of reality in general and of forgiveness in particular.

If you see only a loving God who never says no, or if you only see an angry God who never says yes, it will distort your life. It will affect how you view and live your life in general. It will shape how you make your decisions, how you regard other people, how you think about yourself, how you relate to the world around you. Perhaps it is too simplistic (but not by much) to say that if you believe only in a God of love, you will live like a spoiled child, but if you believe only in a God of wrath, you will live like an abused child.

God’s love and his fury are nowhere seen together as they are on the cross, where they both are satisfied and meet and coincide. It is understanding and rejoicing in Christ’s work on the cross that keeps us from living as a spoiled or as an abused child.
