God's Favor, Not His Anger
Commentators stress that God's fundamental nature is one of life-giving favor, not anger. His 'anger' is a temporary, corrective response that feels like a moment, while His favor is a constant, life-long reality. As John Gill notes, God's anger is our perception of His discipline, not a human-like rage. His true disposition is to grant life and mercy.
