Isaiah 10: Discipline Versus Destruction

What lay ahead would be a devastating ordeal, yet God did not want Godโ€™s people to be afraid, for their crucible would soon pass, and those who harmed them would receive just judgment from God.

Gospel of John: Lamb of God Judged

If God did not judge sin it would mean that God was indifferent to the existence of right and wrong, good and evil. But the Lord is not indifferent. God's wrath, grief, and intense pain over sin is the necessary and only right response.
