For those who reject the Gift, the precious precious Gift of His much loved Son’s death, absolutely deserve every ounce of RAGE from the Father of Life and Love! There is no contradiction whatsoever.

If Abba allowed his only son, his beautiful baby boy, innocent and free, to take your place to die for YOUR sins - and you weren’t grateful, supremely apologetic, and repenting of those sins and making them right with all speed and effort - WOW. What an INSULT to his love. Wrath is appropriate.
