Semikkah7

10/09/2022 “The wrath of God does not end with death. This is a truth that the preacher can’t mention without trembling, nor wondering why he does not tremble more. The eternity of punishment is a thought which crushes the heart. You have buried the man but you have not buried his sins. His sins live and are immortal. They have gone before him to judgment, or they will follow after him to bear their witness as to the evil of his heart and rebellion of his life. The Lord God is slow to anger, but when he is once aroused to it, as he will be against those who finally reject his Son, he will put forth all his omnipotence to crush his enemies.” Charles Spurgeon
