QUOTES ON GOD/JUSTICE Even God attributes to himself avarice, jealousy, anger; and these are virtues as well as kindness, pity, constancy.
Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
God of all mercy is a God unjust.
Edward Young (1683–1765)
God’s compassion flows out of his goodness, and goodness without justice is not goodness. God spares us because he is good, but he could not be good if he were not just.
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)
God’s justice and love are one. Infinite justice must be infinite love.
Frederick William Robertson (1816–1853)
God’s justice stands forever against the sinner in utter severity. The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions. It hushes their fears and allows them to practice all pleasant forms of iniquity while death draws every day nearer and the command to repent goes unregarded. As responsible moral beings we dare not so trifle with our eternal future.
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)
God: A leveler, who renders equal small and great.
Johanan Hacohen
If his justice were such as could be adjudged just by human reckoning, it clearly would not be divine; it would in no way differ from human justice. But inasmuch as he is the one true God, wholly incomprehensible and inaccessible to man’s understanding, it is reasonable, indeed inevitable, that his justice also should be incomprehensible.
Martin Luther (1483–1546)
Not only is it right for God to display anger against sin, I find it impossible to understand how he could do otherwise.
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)
Redemptive theology teaches that mercy does not become effective toward a man until justice has done its work.
A. W. Tozer (1897–1963)
