Correct me, O LORD, but with justice;I wonder, sometimes, where the line between justice and anger is for God. If we were looking at straight justice, we would never have existed, because God would have destroyed Adam and Eve. But if we look at anger, God would have done the same, if not then, then some time since.
Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
When we talk about God's anger, we're dealing with a righteous anger, not one of malice or spite. We fall short of God's perfect standard, and therefore deserve His justice, which would mean our annihilation. So is the only difference that we are protected from His anger by Jesus' blood, and that is what turns destruction into correction?
