The only thing that we have earned at the hands of perfect justice is perfect punishment.
There are only two ways that God’s justice can be satisfied with respect to your sin. Either you satisfy it or Christ satisfies it. You can satisfy it by being banished from God’s presence forever. Or you can accept the satisfaction that Jesus Christ has made.
A god who is all love, all grace, all mercy, no sovereignty, no justice, no holiness, and no wrath is an idol.
The higher purpose of the cross was that the Father would be glorified by the satisfaction of His justice.
By definition, the big difference between mercy and justice is that mercy is never ever obligatory.
We have a tendency to think of GOD being glorified only in the manifestation of his mercy----- He is just as glorified by His justice.
The moment we think we deserve mercy a little alarm bell should go off in our head because we are not talking about mercy anymore but justice.
It is by virtue of the atonement that God can maintain His justice and yet demonstrate His mercy...
When God's justice falls, we are offended because we think God owes perpetual mercy. We must not take His grace for granted. We must never lose our capacity to be amazed by grace
'Economics for Everybody' begins with understanding God's principles for organizing His creation and what that means for us as creatures and stewards.
To be a Christian is to be a theologian-a student of God and his will. The contemporary disdain for theological content and emphasis on self-image and emotions were not shared by the apostolic church.
Reformed theology so far transcends the mere five points of Calvinism that it is an entire worldview.
If you care about the slaughter of the innocent, then for God's sake, speak up.
You have to stop thinking logically to argue that the universe came into being by itself, out of nothing.
