"But the cry of the age is, that God is merciful, that God is love. Ay; who said he was not? But remember, it is equally true, God is just, severely and inflexibly just. He were not God, if he were not just; he could not be merciful if he were not just, for punishment of the wicked is demanded by the highest mercy to the rest of mankind. Rest assured, however, that he is just, and that the words I am about to read you from God's Word are true—'The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God;' 'God is angry with the wicked every day;' 'If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.'" - From Spurgeon's Sermon Turn or Burn! (Listen to entire sermon, Turn or Burn)
