John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Romans 2:5
But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Romans 9:22
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Ephesians 5:6
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
One thing I find interesting I dont think I have ever heard a sermon on the Wrath of God. With the sermons in the Great Awakening. Where they preached about Hell.
I so want to obey God and not be a children of disobedience! We live in a world where love answers everything.
There are definitions of Sin I have heard
1. Seperation
Where in the scripture does it say sin separates us from God, Sin is not separation.Find me a verse!
2. Sin is Selfishness
There is nowhere where it says that in the scriptures. It is not that selfishness is a sin
Sin is classed as rebellion against God! When is it churches are not going to please men.
Acts 5:29
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Most people are more seeker sensitive than God sensitive, I wish I could obey God more in every single detail but I fail.

Why the wrath of God is not the tribulation !
1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ
Because the wrath of God is due to our sin and nowhere in scripture does it synonymize wrath with tribulation.
