In this light, we see the problem of pleasure. Manifestly, as sinners against an infinitely glorious God, we deserve an immediate and infinite, condign, irremediable punishment from His holy, powerful hands.

How, therefore, do we continue to live? Why are we not plunged into eternal torment now, immediately?
