For one sin!

    (Arthur Pink, "The Godhood of God")

The God of Scripture is infinite in Holiness. The "only true God" is He who hates sin with a perfect abhorrence, and whose nature eternally burns against it.

He is the One who beheld the wickedness of the antediluvians, and who opened the windows of Heaven and poured down the flood of His righteous indignation!

He is the One who rained fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and utterly destroyed these cities of the plain!

He is the One who sent the plagues upon Egypt, and destroyed her haughty monarch together with his hosts at the Red Sea!

He is the One who caused the earth to open its mouth and swallow alive Korah and his rebellious company!

Yes, He is the One who "spared not His own Son" when He was "made sin for us--that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."

So holy is God, and such is the antagonism of His nature against evil, that . . .
  for one sin, He banished our first parents from Eden;
  for one sin, He cursed the posterity of Ham;
  for one sin, He turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt;
  for one sin, He sent out fire and devoured the sons of Aaron;
  for one sin, Moses died in the wilderness;
  for one sin, Achan and his family were all stoned to death;
  for one sin, the servant of Elisha was smitten with leprosy!

And this is the God that every Christ-rejector has yet to meet in judgment!
