In Romans 1.24-32, the Bible tells how God shows wrath. List and explain five ways God reveals and executes His wrath upon man.

The wrath of God being executed on man only happens for one reason: if one rejects Him, He rejects them.
1. He gives them up to do as they will.
2. He gives them up to uncleanness.
3. He gives them up to vile, unnatural affections.
4. He gives them up to reprobate, depraved minds.
5. He assures them final judgement of death.

Out of perfect righteousness God demonstrates an amazingly perfect amount of patience and mercy even in His wrath as it falls on sinful unrepentant man. How it must anger and pain him to let any one of His creation fall away. But this is part of His wrath, to allow the falling away deeper into sin, and further away from Himself. God could simply take the life of the person away in an instant and send them to hell, but He waits and gives them even more time to hear or remember the truth and repent of their wicked ways.

Just one look into our world gives ample evidence that sin knows only the bounds that God sets. And even then we wonder how could a loving God allow such boundaries to exist. The wretched sin we see today has always existed, the only difference is the technology with which it gets carried out. Ecclesiastes even states, there is nothing new under the sun. When one is unrepentant and is basically anti-Christ or anti-God, God has basically said, ok, you had your chances. I told you many times and many ways what the effects of your sin would be, and that was only part of it. I am releasing you to your own devices. Before you reach the moment of death, you will have even more chances to repent and accept the truth. But if you don’t, you will suffer the ultimate punishment for rejecting Me and My plan for your life, hell.

For every sin there is an effect that most people don’t realize until they are going through that effect. It’s only then that they either repent or continue on and make things worse for themselves. These types of sinners are the ones that would be diagnosed with the latest disorder the world has come up with to excuse the sinful nature, Oppositional Defiance Disorder. They are the ones that one could imagine as a child standing by the hot stovetop with a stern look on their face looking at God as they hold their hand directly on the blazing burner. They are so lost in their depraved minds that they are willing to suffer the painful consequences of their actions for that short moment of fun that sin brings in the disobedience, even though they were more than adequately warned.
