Easy. Don't listen to mankind's view of God. Search for God and discover the truth. God has no wrath. There are much better ways than hate. God will easily out-think His kids. God is Unconditional Love. He will just send wayward children more lessons. They won't be any worse than you are willing to give.

Where does it say that in the bible? The bible states in Romans 1, 'The Wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness...' // my bad it's Romans 1: 18... Now, God doesn't hate sinners, but He does hate sin...I don't know exactly what line of thought you're on...but the wrath of God is very real... He loves just as much as He hates.

NOT only good acts can save us. we can be saved when we believe in God, accept that he is real, and true to us. When you accept that God is a living God and turn your back from the bad things that is when you start doing good.

None of our good works can erase the sins we've committed. In Isaiah 64:6 we're told that all our righteousness are like filthy rags. Salvation can only come through the blood of Jesus Christ and acceptance of this gift from Him. While on the cross, Jesus took our sins and made them His. He bore our sins in His body and with His blood cleansed us from all unrighteousness. Jesus Himself said, "No one comes to the Father except through Me." The Bible teaches us what we must do to be saved.

Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, confessing your sins and repenting of them is the way to salvation. Good deeds are fine and recommended but they don't lead to salvation. No man comes to God but through Christ.

Doing good acts is one of the ingredients God salvation. Doing good means doing for God. Your relationship is the most important and so on.

Saved from what? Can man be saved from the wrath of a jealous, judgmental demanding god? I don't think that kind of god exists. The idea that people need to be saved presupposes that their nature in inherently evil and they must overcome that. I prefer to see people as basically good and in no need of salvation from an unseen supernatural being.

nope. your idea of 'good' and God's idea of 'good' are two different things. God's standards are much higher than man's. This is why God sent His son Jesus to die on the cross to die for your sins. all you have to do is accept what He has done for you.

Be humble with love and serving God. We do all suffers and be weak but if we love and serve God these has all ending. When we feel sufferings and weakness we must love and serve God and these are all just temporary and it is called self-sacrifice. But if you always satisfy yourself together the love of the flesh without the love and serving God you are absolutely condemned and you can not be save and have an everlasting life.

No. God's word tells us that we are saved by grace and not by works, lest any man should boast. Good acts has good rewards but does not guarantee salvation.

The bible says in Acts 3: 19, 'Repent therefore and be converted so that your sins are blotted out; so that the times of refreshing will come from the presence of the Lord' Repentance and conversion are the keys to avoid the wrath of God.
