Can You Avoid the Wrath of God?

He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true. For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. John 3:31-36

It is repeated a couple of times in this passage ....He who comes from above or heaven is above all. That would be Jesus. He came down fom Heaven and told us about the Heavenly Father. Here are a few verses in which Jesus speaks about the Father and how to please Him.
  Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:48
 

  Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. ... so that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. ... "So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Matthew 6:1, 4, 8

  Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Matthew 7:21

  Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:36

  All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Luke 10:22 NASB

Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. Luke 12:32

  For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel. "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. John 5:20-21

  I and the Father are one. John 10:30 NASB

  My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. John 15:8
 

Jesus wants us to know His Father as our Father. God the Father wants us to know and believe in His Son, Jesus. Those who don't know seek to know Jesus will have the wrath of God on them (John 3:36). Wrath of God is...anger, vengeance and indignation. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Ephesians 5:6
I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom according to My anger and according to My wrath; thus they will know My vengeance, declares the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 25:14

RSVP: How will you respond today--to God for sending His Son? and to Jesus for showing us His perfect Heavenly Father? Will you choose to be obedient and avoid the wrath of God?

Prayer~ Dear God, I acknowledge that You are perfect and Have given of the ultimate sacrifice--Your Son. Please accept my repentant heart and continue to reveal to me more about You and about Jesus--giving me, my children, grandchildren, other family and friends wisdom that we would understand the depth of Your love.
