"He that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." The wrath of God abides on one so the one may learn from their own error. Eventually
coming into an understanding of good and evil and that evil is unfruitful to the doer. Eventually as the wrath continues one is drawn into seeking the source of their misfortune. In doing so they find God their creator who then shows them what it is that he has for them through his SON JESUS CHRIST. Eventually they will see life as they have been given faith to believe. "Every man in his own order"
So IMO the Wrath of God will lead one to LIFE through JESUS Christ whom is the LOVE of GOD to and for us ALL.
You put you're trust in your teachers, because you did not believe God would actually help you.
I call that, denying the power of God.
