I have recently fallen in love with this Bible verse, simply because although in society today many call Christianity a practice of faith that is "condemning" to so called "sinners," this is all that the Bible has to say:
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God." - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
Key word being "but," it changes everything. We are all sinners and betrayers like it or not - I personally hate the idea, but sadly enough, without further denial, it is true. So instead of looking at the aspect of the wrath of God - which is uncommon in faith to look at - look for the aspect of why God sent Jesus. He sent him because He truly wants us and desires us, despite our wicked past. This is even said in the Bible:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16
