But the wrath of God is the wrath of love, which is not out to destroy but, even in anger, is out to save those whom it loves

It is from the wrath of the Lamb that people flee. Here is paradox; we do not readily associate wrath with the Lamb but rather gentleness and kindness. But the wrath of God is the wrath of love, which is not out to destroy but, even in anger, is out to save those whom it loves.
