Summary
In Ephesians 1:14-15, we see that God does all things for the elect, with those that he has chosen according to his foreknowledge before the foundations of the world, and according to His foresight before the foundation of the earth. God is all powerful, all omnibenevolent, all omnipotent, all loving, and all omnipresent. He is the judge of the living and the dead, the righteous judge who shows no partiality, the judge who is fair, always fair, never lenient, but also never harsh. It is unjust for that perfect judge to punish the same crime twice, for God is unjust, unrighteous, fair, and never harsh, because God is the wage for sin. The wages of sin is death, which is the eternal death. All will die once they die physically at the end of this life, but some will die forever, that is the second death that they will go to hell. Some people will pay themselves by spending eternity in hell. Others will pay for their sins under God s just judgment. And God will not subject his son to that punishment.

five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. So what do I mean by invoking
00:00:30.040
the justice of God? What I mean is this. It is unjust of God who is thrice holy to exact
00:00:36.660
double penalties for the same infraction. It is unjust, say it again, it is unjust, unrighteous,
00:00:46.240
unfair, for God is the judge of the living and the dead, the righteous judge, the judge who shows
00:00:53.440
no partiality the judge who is fair always fair never lenient but also never harsh it is unjust
00:01:01.980
for that perfect judge to punish the same crime twice hell is the wage for sin
00:01:10.960
the bible is clear in the book of romans that the wages of sin is death that is the eternal death
00:01:19.860
all will die once hebrew says it is appointed to man that he should die once and then comes
00:01:26.260
the judgment all will die physically at the end of this life all will die once but some will die
0.93
00:01:34.180
forever that they will go to the second death that they will go to hell and what makes hell so
00:01:41.560
terrible what makes it an eternal never-ending death where the worm does not die and the flame
00:01:48.300
is not quenched what makes hell an eternal death a terrible miserable eternal death is not that god
00:01:56.440
is absent it is not as though hell is so terrible because god is not there hell is so terrible
00:02:03.440
because god is there god is present king david underneath the inspiration of the holy spirit
00:02:11.060
and writing the psalms he says this where can i go from your presence that if i was thrown into
00:02:16.860
the depths of the sea you would be there and we saw that with jonah that god is with him even in
00:02:24.100
the belly of the fish and david goes further and says that if i was even not just in the depths of
00:02:29.500
the sea but thrown into the belly of sheol that is death the grave you would be there god is
00:02:37.060
omnipresent now we know this from scripture but this is also simply logic god is infinite
00:02:44.400
his infinite nature is expressed in multiple different facets he is omnipotent that means
00:02:51.520
he has infinite knowledge there is nothing that god does not know he is omnipotent that means he
00:02:57.820
is all powerful infinite power there is nothing that god cannot do he is omnibenevolent that is
00:03:05.740
infinite love, all loving. There is no lack of love in God's part, but he is also omnipresent.
00:03:16.720
There is no place where God is not present, including the depths of hell. What makes hell
00:03:24.380
so terrible is not that God is good and yet God is not there. What makes hell so terrible is that
00:03:30.980
God is just and he is there. God is present in hell, in his justice, his righteous white-hot wrath,
00:03:42.080
pouring out his just vengeance on his enemies forever and ever. Amen.
00:03:51.880
Ephesians chapter 1 says that God does all with the elect, with those that he has chosen according
00:03:59.200
to his foreknowledge before the foundations of the world were even laid those that he chose by
00:04:05.460
grace to save that god does all things for those who are called according to his purposes those
00:04:12.700
who love him those who he has saved by grace alone through faith alone in christ alone he is doing
00:04:18.400
all things for them to the praise of his glorious grace so as it pertains to the elect those who are
00:04:27.480
to inherit salvation those who will spend eternity in heaven with christ for those god is doing all
00:04:35.540
things for their good but also for his glory more particularly to the praise of his glorious grace
00:04:44.760
likewise by necessary inference certainly by way of implication the other side of the coin we could
00:04:52.980
say this that God does all things namely pouring out his just judgment as it pertains to the
00:04:59.940
non-elect his enemies to the praise of his glorious justice God does all things for his
00:05:08.660
elect to the praise of his glorious grace and he does all things including just judgment for the
00:05:14.060
non-elect to the praise of his glorious justice. So that no one can indict God. No one can fault
00:05:23.100
him. No one can say to the Almighty that he was unfair or that he was unjust or that he was fickle
00:05:30.140
or that he was harsh or that he was mean. That he does all things well. That he disperses his grace
00:05:39.560
well and he pours out his justice well it would be just of god to punish all the fact that god
00:05:50.020
saves anyone is not a matter of justice but rather mercy and because god is just and because the
00:05:59.200
wages of sin is death the eternal death hell god will not and did not subject his son
00:06:08.280
to pay for sins that would already be paid for by those individuals in hell themselves.
00:06:19.380
The wages of sin is death. That is the eternal death, which is hell. Some people will pay for
00:06:25.580
their sins themselves by spending eternity in hell under God's just judgment. Others have had
