I do wonder sometimes, so many preachers preach about the Grace and Mercy of God - so much so that they leave out the other aspect of God, His righteousness and Justice - Which means His Judgment and wrath.

good point. say some more!!!!!
Hm.. God is LOVE, the ultimate Love or True Love. Meaning to say, Mercy and Grace and yes, even Justice are the expressions of Love. Judgment and wrath comes because imperfections (sin) cannot exist before Him as He is Holiest (holy holy holy)
So often we knew Him as being Just, and this definition of a Just God more often comes hand in hand with wrath.
There are 2 interesting sides to His nature and character. One on hand He loves the sinners, and on the other hand He has to punish sin. Speaks of His identity, He wants (to love us) vs He must (punish sin).
If we look at His justice and wrath in the after knowing that it is part of His expression, Who is Love, perhaps it would also seem that often even in His justice - He had shown mercy and given us that which we do not REALLY deserve.
