GOD'S LOVE

'The love of God demands as its correlative the wrath of God, just because God does care and because He is man's true God, and He has called man to fellowship with Himself, and man's rejection of that fellowship is his ruin and perdition. Because the New Testament emphasizes the love of God it also emphasizes His wrath, and the evangelists repeatedly show our Lord as righteously angry.'
AG Herbert in RVG Tasker, 'The Biblical Doctrine of the Wrath of God', p.28.  Available at: http://www.theologicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/wrath_tasker.pdf
