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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible portrays God's wrath and justice as a consuming fire that must be satisfied, as seen in Leviticus 6:8-13.

The Scriptures depict God's wrath and justice as an ever-burning fire that symbolizes His holiness and purity. This portrayal is consistently found throughout the Bible, from the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden to the judgments seen in Revelation. God’s justice demands that sin be punished, and the fire upon the altar in Leviticus serves as a vivid reminder that this wrath must be satisfied. Leviticus 6:12 specifically states that 'the fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out,' emphasizing the perpetual nature of God's justice against sin, which ultimately points to the need for a true sacrifice to reconcile humanity to God.
