Since the begiing of mankind every people
group has sought some understanding of a
Creator to whom they owe a egiance.
Such knowledge is an important part
of what it means to “be created in
the image of God” (Genesis 1:27).
God is not only perfect love, but
He is also perfect justice as we .
Justice requires adequate
payment for crimes co
i ed.
Another part of God’s
character comes into play in
the question “how can a loving
God send someone to he ?”
The only just punishment for
treason and disobedience
against our Creator is eternal
separation from His presence.
When we are separated from
God, we are separated from
g dne , fe owship, joy,
light, and everything else that
are facets of God’s nature.
