"You and I are an abomination to the Lord God. In order for us to be forgiven, God has to die as an abomination in our place. You and I deserve to be crushed under God's wrath. In order for God to save us and forgive us, He was crushed under His own wrath. That's what the cross means!" "A kid said one time, 'When I go to hell...' He was taking joy in the fact that if he went to hell there would be people on the outside who would be suffering because they loved him so much and knew he was going to hell. ...that mentality 'Well I'll hurt myself and it will hurt everybody else who loves me?' I noticed this tendency in him and I said, 'Young man, let me just give you an idea of what's going to happen on the day you stand before God.' He said, 'Okay. I'm not afraid,' I said, 'You will be.' I said this is what's going to happen. I said the moment you stand before God, Everything that your parents loved about you, it wasn't you, did you know that? It was the common grace of God, on you. That's what caused them to love you. Now, the moment that He declares your judgement, that grace is going to be pulled off of you. And what your parents are going to see is a seething monster that's going to make Hitler look like a choir boy. And you wanna know something? I said, When you take your first step into hell the last thing that you're going to hear is all of creation and your parents standing up applauding and worshipping God because God has rid the earth of you. So don't think that anybody's going to be mourning up there in heaven and somehow you're going to get vengeance on at least somebody as you suffer there in hell. You will get no satisfaction there. He said that's horrible. I said, More than you can believe. Repent and believe. Flee from the wrath to come."
