How do we know that God is both loving and angry?

Many people mistakenly view God as solely loving and kind, especially in the New Testament, but Scripture teaches that God is also just and angry with sin every day (Psalm 7:11). The essence of God’s love is powerfully demonstrated in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore our sins and the full weight of His wrath in our place (Isaiah 53:5). Therefore, understanding God’s nature involves recognizing that His wrath against wickedness is a necessary part of His love, as it leads to justice and the eventual glorification of His grace.
