“The justice of God in the Old Testament is not a relic of the past, but a revelation of
His unchanging character. It is a manifestation of His goodness, ensuring that evil
will not go unpunished and that righteousness will be vindicated.”
John Piper

“Come to Christ and lay hold on Him by faith, as the only way to escape the wrath to come.”
Jonathan Edwards

“Jesus is the only King who died for His subjects, the only King who is sovereign over every power
and yet willfully took the lowest place, the only King who brings both justice and mercy,
the only King whose reign brings true freedom and flourishing.”
Tim Keller

“Whereas at the conquest [and elsewhere], God poured out His judgment on a wicked society
who deserved it, at the cross, God bore on Himself the judgement of God on human wickedness,
through the person of His own sinless son – who deserved it not one bit.”
Christopher Wright
