00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a

00:00:23.480 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

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

00:06:34.020 their sins paid for by Christ at Calvary.
