God is relentless in His love and purpose for our lives. His wrath is not against people but against sin and death. Those who lead others into sin face His judgment, yet even His wrath is expressed as "God abandoned them"—not out of spite, but as a heartbreaking act of letting go when someone chooses to reject Him. Like a loving parent, God does not force Himself on anyone. He has revealed His truth through creation, Scripture, and ultimately through Jesus. If we reject Him, He lets us go—but the good news is, there is a Savior, and a Father who loves us with a fierce, unwavering love.
