Tertullian

“ I have called the just God, not the good one. It is He who removes (men) from confidence in the law to faith in the gospel—that is to say, [6] His own law and His own gospel. When, again, he declares that “the wrath (of God) is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness,” [7] (I ask) the wrath of what God? Of the Creator certainly. The truth, therefore, will be His, whose is also the wrath, which has to be revealed to avenge the truth. ”

“ So that both the gospel and Christ must be His, to whom appertain the law and the nature which are to be vindicated by the gospel and Christ—even at that judgment of God which, as he previously said, was to be according to truth. [14] The wrath, therefore, which is to vindicate truth, can only be revealed from heaven by the God of wrath; [15] so that this sentence, which is quite in accordance with that previous one wherein the judgment is declared to be the Creator’s, [16] cannot possibly be ascribed to another god who is not a judge, and is incapable of wrath. ”

“ Likewise, when adding, “We are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth,” [8] he both vindicated that wrath from which comes this judgment for the truth, and at the same time afforded another proof that the truth emanates from the same God whose wrath he attested, by witnessing to His judgment. Marcion’s averment is quite a different matter, that [9] the Creator in anger avenges Himself on the truth of the rival god which had been detained in unrighteousness. ”
