– Holy Scripture speaks several times of the wrath of God; it is an anthropomorphic way of expressing himself, attributing to God human qualities or feelings, to indicate the repudiation of his evil; hence the wrath of God provokes the adversities that sinful people incur:

Rom 2 :5 : Because of your obstinacy and unrepentant heart, you are storing up anger against yourself for the day of wrath.
– Or, on the contrary, faith protects man:
Jn 3:36 : He who believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not believe in the Son will not see life.
1Th 1:10 : And wait for his Son from heaven, whom God raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.
