Saved From Wrath I

The name of this blog is SFW - Saved From Wrath. I hope you can answer that you are saved from wrath. I will expound more on wrath and being saved from it in more upcoming posts.

Here is an excerpt taken from Pierced For Our Transgressions: Rediscovering the Glory of Penal Substitution (Crossway, 2007).
Romans 5:8-10 contains two parallel statements, both of them reasoning from what was accomplished by Christ at the cross to what can be expected on the future day of judgment. In outline, the logic runs as follows: We were sinners; Christ's death (his 'blood') justified us; we shall be saved from God's wrath (vv. 8-9). We were God's enemies; Christ's death reconciled us; we shall be saved (v.10).
More posts on being Saved From Wrath will be forthcoming
