Nahum, Part 1: Nahum 1:1-14 // How can the wrath of God be a good thing?
The idea of a "wrathful God" seems like an archaic view of God from the distant past. If God is love, then he can't be wrathful - that would make him an abusive tyrant! But God's wrath is not like the wrath we know from sinful man. His wrath is an extension of his love and perfect goodness. His wrath is based not on sin, but on his holy power and authority - and his wrath is a shelter for those who turn away from evil and turn to the Lord. For those who belong to Christ, the wrath of God is one of the strongest comforts that the Lord will not let Satan and his kingdom triumph over the people of God, and we can take comfort that "the Lord is a stronghold in the day of trouble"!
