When people see references to God’s wrath in Scripture, it is important that they consider the context. Too many people assume that God’s wrath refers to eternal condemnation. It rarely—if ever—does. John 3:36 is an example where people often read into the wrath of God an eternal component that is not found in the text.
Hell and the Lake of Fire are the eternal condemnation that is : Hell and the lake of fire.
John 3:36, says that God's wrath Abides, on Christ rejectors., and this does not stop until a person BELIEVES in Jesus.
If we read these next 2 verses down below that i'll post.... ..we see the end result of UNBELIEF as its continued after death, as well as on earth.
Its a fact that every non-born again, is currently DAMNED, and their way out of that Damnation, is to be born again.. To Trust in Christ.
Reader....When you lead someone to Christ, you just led them away from eternal damnation.
Notice in this verse,, .. .WHY Jesus is taking vengeance on them......
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL...of our Lord Jesus Christ:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction""""
And the way you dont obey the gospel is when you dont BELIEVE IT. As to BELIEVE IT, is how you obey it., and so, the wrath of God and Christ's wrath, are the same., and for the same reason.
