A judge owes justice in courtroom, but he is free with his money. So, God is just in judgment, but He is free with His mercy. (Rom. 9:15; Matt. 20:15)

一个法官在法庭上需要公正，但他可以自由地使用自己的金钱。同样，上帝对罪人的审判是公正的，但祂有主权如何使用祂的怜悯。

罗马书 9:15
上帝对摩西说：“我要怜悯谁就怜悯谁，要恩待谁就恩待谁。”

马太福音 20:15
“我的东西难道不可随我的意思用吗？因为我做好人，你就红了眼吗？”

“爱是防止敬虔退化成律法主义的首要原则；同时，律法又提供了爱的内容。”

“Love is the overarching principle that prevents piety from degenerating into legalism. At the same time, law provides the content for love.”

– Joel, Beeke, Living for God’s Glory, Obedience

R. C. Sproul: “We’re never allowed to call good ‘evil,’ or evil ‘good.'” Evil is evil, it is not good, but it is good that there is evil. It is good that there is a devil (or there wouldn’t be a devil or there wouldn’t be sin), because God has ordained both the existence of Satan and the existence of sin, and everything that God ordains, ultimately, is good.”

“我们永远都不能称善为恶，或称恶为善。恶就是恶，是不好的，但恶的存在是好的。魔鬼的存在是好的（不然魔鬼和罪恶都不会存在)，因为上帝命定了撒但和罪恶的存在，而上帝所命定的一切最终都是好的。”
