God loves us, but He hates our sin. He is also just, and must punish sin.
For God so loved the world... |
...He will by no means clear the guilty... |
The wages of sin is death... |
Because we are all sinners, we must be held accountable for those sins.
...these shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord...
II Thessalonians 1:9a
God loves us, but He also had to deal with our sin.
