Teaching series

I have been attending a teaching series on Thursdays at Bridgeway church.
This past Thursday was on death and hell.

Pastor Sam Storms addressed the argument that many people make about the injustice of hell.
Here is how he responded:
We humans are hardly the ones to assess the enormity of our sins. "Is the magnitude of our sins established by our own status, or by the degree of offense against the sovereign, transcendent God?" ( Carson, 534). As John Piper has pointed out, " The essential thing is that degrees of blameworthiness come not from how long you offend dignity, but from high the dignity is that you offend" ( Let the Nation's be Glad, 127).
In other words, our sin is deserving of infinite punishment because of the infinite glory of the One against whom it is perpetrated.

I have never thought about it in those terms before. We deserve eternal punishment not because of how much we sin or degree of sin,  but because of the holiness of the One (God) who we sin against.
I am so grateful to be written in God's book of life!
