That punishment will be so uncompromising, so severe, that all will see that the entire being of God is opposed to sin. The delay in justice and punishment of evil will not in any way reflect on the holiness of God because, when it comes it will overlook nothing. Furthermore, the atonement will be on display for all to see. So great is God’s love for justice and holiness that he was ready to punish his own Son rather than relax his righteous standards. The righteous will be pardoned on account of the suffering and death of Christ, and the wicked will bear their own punishment forever.
