(Bonar, "The Secret of Deliverance from Evil")
God's estimate of sin is unspeakably dreadful:
"It is the abominable thing which I hate;
it is an evil that I cannot bear;
it cast the angels out of heaven;
it ruined the world;
it brought the deluge;
it drew down the fire and brimstone;
it slew my Son;
it will yet set the world on fire;
it will kindle hell."
