With them the wrath of God is finished.

Revelation 15:1-4, Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

Sometime people ask, “If God is loving, why is there evil in the world?” Peter tells us that the Lord is patient with us, “not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” God “shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus says “I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." He is the way when there is no other way and delivers us from the wrath to come.

We look to You to be saved, Jesus, the way, the truth and the life!
