His anger is for a moment, His mercy is forever vs His mercy is for a moment, His anger is forever.
The Bible repeatedly emphasizes that God’s anger endures only for a moment, but His love endures forever (Ps. 30: 5; e.g., 2 Chron. 5: 13; 7: 3, 6; 20: 21; Pss. 100: 5; 103: 9; 106: 1; 107: 1; 118: 1–4, 29; 136: 10–26). These frequent assurances of God’s benevolent nature should raise suspicions about any doctrine that says that God’s goodness to sinners lasts only for the “moment” of this lifetime (e.g., Matt. 5: 45; Luke 6: 35), but that His wrath endures forever!
