Edward Thomson Quote

“The Lamb is, indeed, the emblem of love; but what so terrible as the wrath of the Lamb? The depth of the mercy despised is the measure of the punishment of him that despiseth. No more fearful words than those of the Saviour. The threatenings of the law were temporal , those of the gospel are eternal . It is Christ who reveals the never-dying worm, the unquenchable fire, and He who contrasts with the eternal joys of the redeemed the everlasting woes of the lost . His loving arms would enfold the whole human race, but not while impenitent or unbelieving; the benefits of His redemption are conditional.”
