"...the human soul was built for worshiping and enjoying the true God, and
all truly human life flows from that. In this world, all of humanity,
even those who have turned away from God, still are supported by
'kindly providences' or 'common grace' (Acts 14:16-17; Psalm 104:10-30;
James 1:17) keeping us still capable of wisdom, love, joy, and
goodness. But when we lose God's supportive presence all together, the
result is hell."
"Jesus suffered infinitely more than any human soul in eternal hell, yet
he looks at us and says, "It was worth it." What could make us feel
more loved and valued than that? The Savior presented in the gospel
waded through hell itself rather than lose us, and no other savior ever
depicted has loved us at such a cost."
