Distin. 2 Distinguish between the wrath of God as concerning the Elect,1 and the hatred of God strictly taken. Wrath is sometime taken for Gods hatred of persons, and signifieth reprobation; thus the reprobates are called Vessels of Wrath, Rom. 9.22. Sometimes for the execution of Vindicative Justice, Rom. 1.18. & chap. 2.5. in this sense the elect are called the children of wrath, Eph. 2.3. because their state by nature is such whereunto vindicative justice is due by reason of their sin. Sometimes for the execution of corrective justice, Deut. 4.21. Psal. 78.62. in the first sense God is wroth with the reprobate: in the second sense he was wroth with Christ, in the last he is wroth with the Elect: Though in the second sense, not in the first, God may be said to be wroth with Christ; yet in no sense could God be said ever to hate Christ: God hates both persons and sins of the reprobate, he hates sin in the Surety and in the Elect, but he ever loved their persons. God is wroth with all whom he hates, but he hates not all with whom he is wroth.
