God Is Also Holy and Just Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity. —Habakkuk 1:13 A lot of people have talked about the goodness of God and then gotten sentimental about it and said, God is too good to punish anybody, and so they have ruled out hell. But the man who has an adequate conception of God will not only believe in the love of God, but also in the holiness of God. He will not only believe in the mercy of God, but also in the justice of God. And when you see the everlasting God in His holy, perfect union, when you see the One God acting in judgment, you know that the man who chooses evil must never dwell in the presence of this holy God. But a lot of people have gone too far and have written books and poetry that gets everybody believing that God is so kind and loving and gentle. God is so kind that infinity wont measure it. And God is so loving that He is immeasurably loving. But God is also holy and just. AOG107 We praise You for your love and mercy, Lord, but may we never take lightly Your awesome holiness and Your fearful justice. Amen. Tozer on the Almighty God: A 366-Day Devotional.
