Charles Haddon Spurgeon
1834–1892
The Prince of Preachers: a Calvinistic Baptist at London's Metropolitan Tabernacle.
In his own words
I know some of you set up the decree of God like a huge monster before you. You paint a horrible picture, as though the visage of Him that speaks to you from heaven were cruel and pitiless. But that picture is drawn by your perverse imagination, it is not God’s portrait of Himself, for He says, “As I live, saith the LORD God, I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, but had rather that he would turn unto me and live.” God mocks not when He says, “Turn ye, turn ye; why will ye die, O house of Israel?” That is honest emotion which God feels over a sinner who ruins himself when He cries, “How shall I give thee up…how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together”! God wills not the death of a sinner, but had rather that he should turn unto Him and live. So He Himself assures us, and sovereign as He is, yet He still remains both just and gracious forever, and let us not doubt it for a moment. The rainbow, the rainbow of His own glorious attributes of mercy, ever surrounds the throne.
