A Thought On...God's Justice

"But God's justice stands forever against the sinner in utter severity.  The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.  It hushes their fears and allows them to practice all pleasant forms of iniquity while death draws every day nearer and the command to repent goes unregarded.  As responsible moral beings we dare not so trifle with our eternal future." - A.W. Tozer, The Holiness of God

  1. "Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil." Ecclesiastes 8:11

    "The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet." Nahum 1:3

    It's common for good people to despair when they see evil flourishing and prospering (Psalm 37:1,7-8) but the day of reckoning will come.

  2. To the first comment Reverend, any parent with child nows this.

    In total, the children of men fool themselves into thinking that they know all and, based on their knowledge, they know what the other side of death is like as well.
