DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the duality of God's nature, portraying Him as
both merciful and just. He illustrates that while God extends mercy to
humanity, His justice will prevail if that mercy is rejected. Brooks
uses biblical examples of divine judgment to highlight the seriousness
of despising God's grace, culminating in the ultimate sacrifice of
Jesus, who bore the weight of humanity's sins. He warns that those who
abuse God's mercy will face severe consequences, as the rejection of
mercy leads to greater misery. The sermon serves as a sobering reminder
of the balance between God's love and justice.

"I will sing of Your love and justice." Psalm 101:1

Mercy is God's Alpha--justice is His Omega.

When God's mercy is despised--then His justice takes

the throne!

God is like a prince, who first hangs out the white flag

of mercy; if this wins men--they are happy forever! But

if they remain rebellious, then God will put forth His red

flag of justice and judgment.

If His mercy is despised--His justice shall be felt!

God is as just--as He is merciful. As the Scriptures

portray Him to be a very merciful God--so they

portray Him to be a very just God.

Witness His casting the angels out of heaven and

His binding them in chains of darkness until the

judgment of the great day.

Witness His turning Adam out of Paradise.

Witness His drowning of the old world.

Witness His raining hell out of heaven upon Sodom.

Witness all the troubles, losses, sicknesses,

and diseases, which are in the world.

Witness His treasuring up of wrath against

the day of wrath.

But above all, witness the pouring forth of all His

wrath upon His bosom Son, when Jesus bore the

sins of His people, and cried out, "My God, My God,

why have You forsaken Me?"

As I know not the man who can reckon up his mercies;

so I know not the man who can sum up the miseries

which are coming upon him for his sins.

God is slow to anger--but He recompenses His slowness

with grievousness of punishment. If we abuse His mercy

to serve our lust--then He will rain hell out of heaven,

rather than not visit for such sins.

Men shall be deeper in hell, because heaven was offered

unto them--and they abused God's mercy. Sins against

God's mercy, will bring upon the soul the greatest misery!
