What does the Bible say about God's love and wrath?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God loves His elect with a perfect, holy love while expressing righteous wrath towards the reprobate.

In the scriptures, particularly in passages like Isaiah 27 and Romans 9, we see the stark contrast between God's love for His elect and His hatred for the reprobate. The love God has for His children is eternal, unchanging, and perfect, while His wrath against the wicked is just and necessary. This duality highlights the reality of divine sovereignty—God chooses to love some while hardening others according to His will, as seen in Romans 9:13, which states, 'Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.' Therefore, God's response to humanity is based on His sovereign choice, not human merit.
