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)

一個法官在法庭上需要公正，但他可以自由地使用自己的金錢。同樣，上帝對罪人的審判是公正的，但祂有主權如何使用祂的憐憫。

羅馬書 9:15
上帝對摩西說：“我要憐憫誰就憐憫誰，要恩待誰就恩待誰。”

馬太福音 20:15
“我的東西難道不可隨我的意思用嗎？因為我做好人，你就紅了眼嗎？”

“愛是防止敬虔退化成律法主義的首要原則；同時，律法又提供了愛的內容。”

“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.”

“我們永遠都不能稱善為惡，或稱惡為善。惡就是惡，是不好的，但惡的存在是好的。魔鬼的存在是好的（不然魔鬼和罪惡都不會存在)，因為上帝命定了撒但和罪惡的存在，而上帝所命定的一切最終都是好的。”
