I think one of the things actually pertaining to the wrath of God, which I would just call His holiness in action, and the fear of God, meaning that reverence and that respect we should have for the Most High. When that fear is not there or that fear is not exercised, then you have God who's offended because we're acting in a way contrary to not only His holiness, which is His nature, But we're acting contrary to the will in the ways of God which actually brings forth the wrath of God So there's a connection and that's why I think We do some of the things we do because there is no fear of God and God responds with his holiness in action and wrath the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness and ungodliness of men pointing first horizontally how we deal with our fellow men unrighteousness and vertically our godliness or ungodliness the text tells us and therefore it brings down the wrath of God and then when we move to Romans chapter 3 we see that There is no fear of God before the eyes. You

What happens when people do not have a fear of God? Clarence Simmons explains in this video that the wrath of God is essentially holiness in action. When there is no fear of God, we offend a holy God because we are acting in a way contrary to His holiness, His will, and His ways, which brings forth the wrath of God. There is certainly a connection between a lack of the fear of God and the wrath of God. When we live in ungodliness and do not fear God, we can be assured that God will subsequently respond with wrath against ungodliness and unrighteousness. We ought to prayerfully consider if there are areas in our life where we do not fear God as we ought. Ezekiel 25:17 (NKJV) – “I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.”
