[b]God's hatred of sin
(J. A. James, "The Practical Believer Delineated" 1852)
The death of Christ, apprehended by faith, presents
the strongest motives to holiness--by setting forth in
the most vivid and striking manner . . .
the evil nature of sin;
the holiness and justice of God;
His determination to punish transgression;
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!
