This message is part three of eight messages on the Holiness of God. In the message, R. C. Sproul describes the justice of God, telling of several stories in the Bible where God's justice is displayed. Sproul says, "the real puzzle is not that a holy and righteous God should exercise justice. What is mysterious about a holy creator punishing willfully disobedient creatures? The real mystery is why God, through generation after generation, tolerates rebellious creatures who commit cosmic treason against His authority. Did you ever think of it like that?"

This message helps us to rightly think about the mercy of God in light of the justice of God.
