God_s Goodness
Until God gives us light, we have a darkened understanding of what is meant by His "goodness." In our ignorance, we think that if God is good, He would never create a place called Hell. Yet, the opposite is the case. If God is good, He must see to it that justice is done. No judge could be called "good" if he turned a blind eye to rape and murder. If he is good, he must do everything within his power to see that justice is done. It was C. S. Lewis who said, "When we merely say that we are bad, the 'wrath' of God seems a barbarous doctrine; as soon as we perceive our bad-ness, it appears inevitable, a mere corollary from God's goodness." In other words, once we see our sins under the light of God's holy standard, then judgment is unavoidable. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
