Key Quote: "This is the most comforting and yet the most terrifying truth in the world: because God is holy and just, no one will get away with anything in this life. At the end of time, there will be a final and perfect accounting before him (Romans 14:12). What human judges and human courts couldn't prosecute, God Almighty will prosecute. There will be no unsolved crimes. No cold cases. He will judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5). All sin--from genocide and murder to gossip and slander, from rape and human trafficking to lust and immorality--will be punished."
