C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

God’s mill grinds slowly, but it grinds to powder. Justice loiters to commune with mercy, but it speedily makes up for its lingering. 1125.434 A God who could pardon without justice might one of these days condemn without reason. 1173.285 God would not even for mercy’s sake issue an unjust pardon to the souls he loved. 1844.318 Justice is as much vindicated by the redemption of Christ as if it had poured all its vials of wrath upon the sinner. 1912.414 If thou wert now in hell, thou wouldst have no cause to complain against the justice of God, for thou deservest to be there. 2129.89 The Law-maker will not be the law-breaker even to save the sinner; but his law shall be honoured as surely as the sinner shall be saved. 2219.453 If there be a God, he must punish men for sinning against him. How can any moral government exist if sin goes unpunished, if virtue and vice lead to the same end? 2894.363 We have sinned against God, and it is inevitable that sin should be followed by punishment. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” and a judge who never punishes does not do right, but neglects his office. God, who is all love, as a necessary consequence is also sternly just; for the omission of justice from his character would be the omission of an essential ingredient of love. 3095.266 Some there be who sit in judgment upon the great Judge, and condemn the punishment which he afflicts as too severe. As for myself, I cannot measure the power of God’s anger; but let it burn as it may, I am sure that it will be just. No needless pang will be inflicted upon a single one of God’s creatures: even those who are doomed for ever will endure no more than justice absolutely requires, no more than they themselves would admit to be the due reward of their sins, if their consciences would judge aright. Mark you, this is the very hell of hell that men will know that they are justly suffering. 3377.506
