Scripture reveals that God is just and will deal with all sin, either through Christ or through judgment.
God's justice is a central theme in Scripture. As stated in the sermon, God is a consuming fire who will in no wise clear the guilty (Joshua 10:28-43). All souls, apart from Christ, face judgment because of their sin. However, for believers, Christ has borne our sins, dealing with them on the cross and satisfying God's justice on our behalf. This duality—God's inflexible justice and Christ's atoning sacrifice—is pivotal to understanding the nature of salvation. Thus, we can confidently assert that God will deal with all sin: either in His Son, who has borne the sins of the elect, or in those who remain outside of Christ.
