Stott on the Wrath of God

It is God’s personal, righteous, constant hostility to evil, his settled refusal to compromise with it, and his resolve instead to condemn it…We need I think to be more grateful to God for his wrath, and to worship him that because his righteousness is perfect he always reacts to evil in the same unchanging, predictable, uncompromising way.  Without his moral constancy we would enjoy no peace.

John R.W. Stott, The Message of Ephesians (Downer's Grove: IVP, 1979) 76.
