INTRODUCTION
As seekers of God, we should want to know about all the aspects of His nature. We often study about His love and sympathy for his children realizing that on this earth we will never fully understand God. Yet any understanding of Him must also include the teaching of God’s justice. If we are to be completely honest to God, we cannot ignore this side of his nature.
In Hebrews 12 the Hebrew writer urges Christians to not only remember, but to receive the words of God, especially concerning eternity.
