Psalms
130:3 KJV
If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?
Spurgeon in his "Treasury of David" uses the
term, "strict justice" relating to this passage. Any honest and
thinking man knows that he is a sinner, that if God were to let His hammer
fall, the consequences would sweep over us as a flood. What a blessing that
God's justice (and He is both holy and just) is tempered with His love. His
actions are founded in holiness but always motivated by love. His purpose in
justice is a loving and gracious end. If it were any otherwise, where would any
of us be?
- Strict
justice would have slain Noah after his drunkenness
- Strict
justice would have destroyed Abraham over a dozen different sins
Strict Justice would have
- Stricken
Jacob
- Let
Moses die tending sheep
- Destroyed
Strict justice would have never allowed for a Saviour.
