Studying Revelation you get a glimpse of God that can be quit scary.  There are crazy scenes of God’s wrath being poured out onto the earth resulting in a lot of death, a lot of blood,  and people who side against God  are “tormented for ever and ever.”  If you were to only look at this picture of God it is very clear how one could get a wrong idea of who God is.  Don’t make the mistake of assuming this is the entirety of God’s attributes. I also feel the reverse of this needs to be true as well. We see stories of God’s love and assume he is only loving. We need to study all of scripture and develop a view of God that encompasses everything we know about who he is.
