The Holiness And Justice Of GOD.

GOD'S hatred of sin!

(J.A. James, "The Practical Believer Delineated" 1852)

"Yet it was the LORD's will to crush
HIM and cause HIM to suffer!" 
Isaiah 53:10

The death of CHRIST, apprehended

by faith, presents the strongest

motives to personal holiness--

by setting forth in the most

vivid and striking manner . . .

  the holiness and justice of GOD;

  HIS determination to punish transgression;

  the immutable authority of the Divine law;

  the evil nature of sin; and

  the fearfulness of falling into

the hands of the living GOD.

Not all the judgments GOD ever inflicted,

nor all the threatenings he ever denounced,

give such an impressive warning against sin,

and admonition to righteousness--

as the death of CHRIST.

The torments of the bottomless pit 

are not so dreadful a demonstration

of GOD'S hatred of sin,

as the agonies of the cross!
