I think of the unbeliever’s argument that God is cruel in His assessment of mankind.  I know this to be a fact:  God is not cruel.  God is just.  For if God’s justice is cruel to me, it is because I am perverse.

The speed limit might be 65 mph.  If I remain at that speed or less, I have no fear of being pulled over for speeding.   If I travel at 70 mph then I have a right to be fearful of being pulled over.  The law is laid before us as we drive.  If we break that law we have no room for argument.  The same is true of God’s laws.  If you break them, you have a right to be fearful.  It is not God who is unjust in His laws.  It is we who are at fault for not loving His ways.  He created us.  He set the laws for all (Angels as well as man).  Those who break the laws of God stand alone and naked, guilty as charged.
