Quote from the book

It is His power that makes His justice terrible, and it is His eternity that makes His power dreadful. The eternity of hell makes hell more dreadful than His power. His power makes it sharp and smarting, His life makes it everlasting, and everlastingness is the sharpest sting in hell’s misery. ...Oh, that you would be awakened! These things are of great use for conviction if God makes us so wise as to lay them to heart. Dare therefore to live in sin no longer, for if you die in those sins you must have to do with God immediately. For then there will be none to interpose; no Christ to save you; you must have to do with God necessarily, for God in that state is all in all; and you must have to do with God eternally, for He is the living God. (p. 17)
