Wrath.
1 : strong vengeful anger or indignation
2 : retributory punishment for an offense or a crime : divine chastisement
God does not wink at rebellion, nor does he overlook sin. He said sin would be punished and it will.
But we do not have to fear his wrath or his vengeance when we belong to him. Jesus died so that we would be set free from the habit of sin and be protected from God's impending wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 1John 2:28).
