We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Compromise with the culture is often the result when we lose a reverence and respect for the Lord. It’s the “Jesus won’t mind” attitude. To overcome compromise we need to remove our fear of offending the world and recapture a healthy fear of the Lord that our God expects and demands.
Randy Smith

The problem here is the obvious lack of understanding of the infinite nature of sin as contrasted to the infinite righteousness of God. If the slightest sin is infinite in its significance, then it also demands infinite punishment as a divine judgment. Though it is common for all Christians to wish that there were some way out of the doctrine of eternal punishment because of its inexorable and unyielding revelation of divine judgment, one must rely in Christian faith on the doctrine that God is a God of infinite righteousness and well as infinite love. While on the one hand He bestows infinite grace to those who trust Him, He must, on the other hand, inflict eternal punishment on those who spurn His grace.

10:1 “My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

10:2 I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me, Show me why you contend with me.

10:3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, That you should despise the work of your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked?

10:4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?

10:5 Are your days as the days of mortals, Or your years as man’s years,

10:6 That you inquire after my iniquity, And search after my sin?

10:7 Although you know that I am not wicked, There is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

10:8 ‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether; Yet you destroy me.

10:9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

10:10 Haven’t you poured me out like milk, And curdled me like cheese?

10:11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.

10:12 You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.

10:13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:

10:14 If I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

10:15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, Being filled with disgrace, And conscious of my affliction.

10:16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.

10:17 You renew your witnesses against me, And increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.

10:18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.

10:19 I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

10:20 Aren’t my days few? Cease then, Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

10:21 Before I go where I shall not return from, To the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

10:22 The land dark as midnight, Of the shadow of death, without any order, Where the light is as midnight.'”
