The depths of sin

Not all the judgments God ever inflicted—nor all the threatenings He ever denounced, give such an impressive warning against sin, and admonition to righteousness—as the death of Christ.

The torments of the bottomless pit are not so dreadful a demonstration of God's hatred of sin, as the agonies of the cross! ~J. A. James, "The Practical Believer Delineated" 1852
