Often, our discussions about God center on His love, forgiveness, and mercy, overlooking His holiness. God’s holiness and His nature are not two things, they are but one! God’s holiness is His nature, and God’s nature is His holiness. This holiness presents a dilemma for mortal beings—we are drawn to Him as our creator, yet we also feel small and unworthy in His presence.
In the Old Testament, God's wrath is portrayed as a response to human sin and disobedience, contrasting with human anger, which is often unjustified. The difference lies in the holiness and justification of God's wrath compared to the often unholy and rarely justified wrath of humans.
