Consequence 5 of denying wrath: paradoxically diminishes God's love

A fifth consequence is that removing wrath paradoxically weakens God's love. The cross demonstrates love precisely because it was the costly resolution of real wrath. Moreover, love naturally produces wrath when a beloved is harmed — indifference in the face of evil against a loved one signals a lack of genuine love. God's wrath toward evil is evidence of His love for persons.
