DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the inseparable connection between sin and its
consequences, asserting that the wages of sin is death as stated in
Romans 6:23. He argues that a just and righteous God cannot allow sin to
go unpunished, and His threatenings against sin are as certain as His
promises. Brooks highlights that God's faithfulness demands the
execution of His judgments, reminding us that every sinner is deserving
of death and that God's laws will be upheld. He warns that God will not
show pity to the wicked but will repay them according to their deeds,
reinforcing the seriousness of sin and the reality of divine judgment.

Sin and sorrow, iniquity and misery--always

go hand in hand.

"The wages of sin is death," Romans 6:23. Every

sinner is worthy of death. "Those who do such things

deserve death," Romans 1:32. If God is a just and

righteous God, then sin cannot absolutely escape

unpunished; for it is but "a just and righteous thing

with God"--to punish the sinner who is worthy of

punishment. As God must be just--so He must be

faithful. And if He must be faithful--then He must

carry out His threatenings against sin and sinners!

Look! As there is not a promise of God but shall surely

take place; just so, there is not a threatening of God

but shall surely take place. The faithfulness of God, and

the honor of God, are as much concerned in making good

of His dreadful threatenings--as they are concerned

in making good of His precious promises. God has given

it from His own mouth, that:

"He will by no means clear the guilty;"

"the soul that sins, shall surely die;"

"the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him;"

"He will render to every man according to his deeds."

Will God abrogate His own laws--or will He dare men to

sport and play with His threatenings? Will not every wise

and prudent king look to the execution of their own laws?

And shall not that God, who is wonderful in wisdom, and

whose understanding is infinite--see all that all His laws

are put in execution against offenders? Surely yes!

"He will repay them for their sins and destroy them

for their wickedness; the LORD our God will destroy

them!" Psalm 94:23

"I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will

repay you in accordance with your conduct and the

detestable practices among you. Then you will know

that it is I the LORD who strikes the blow!" Ezek. 7:9

"When I sharpen My flashing sword and My hand grasps

it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries

and repay those who hate Me." Deuteronomy 32:41
