The Divine Compassion of God

In this short booklet on Genesis 6:6 and Ezekiel 33:1-11, Bonar shows God's heart of compassion toward the lost. God "has no pleasure in their death. This does not imply that the wicked shall not die. No. The wicked shall be turned into hell. Millons have already perished...There is the second death, the death beyond which there is no life for the impenitent...But still it remains true that God has no pleasure in man's death. He did not kindle hell in order to gratify His revenge. He does not cast sinners headlong into its endless flames in order to get vent to His blind fury...He will finally condemn the unbelieving, but not because He delights to do so, but because He is the righteous Lord that loveth righteousness."
