How do we know God's anger is not directed at His children?

God's wrath toward sin has been satisfied in Christ, so His discipline is not punitive for believers.
According to the sermon, while God is a God of great mercy and love, He is also perfect in holiness and does not condone sin. However, for those who are in Christ, His wrath has been poured out on Jesus, ensuring that believers will never experience divine anger. Romans 8:1 confirms that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, indicating that God's discipline comes from a place of love and is intended to mold us into the image of His Son rather than to punish us for our sins. This reassurance allows Christians to approach God's discipline with confidence, knowing it is part of His good plan to increase our faith and dependence on Him.
