What does the Bible say about the wrath of God and sin?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's wrath is against sin, evidenced in Jonah's story, where Jonah was cast into the sea to calm the tempest caused by sin.

In the narrative of Jonah, we see a clear representation of God's wrath against sin as well as the means of salvation through substitution. Jonah 1:12 illustrates how Jonah acknowledges that his disobedience brings calamity. He said, 'Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you.' This act points to Christ, who took upon Himself the full weight of our sin and shame. By being submerged in the depths of sin and God's wrath, Christ calmed that tempest for His people. Thus, the scripture emphasizes that understanding God's wrath helps us appreciate the depths of His mercy towards us.
