5 metaphors in Scripture related to God’s intolerance of sin: height (YHWH Most High), distance (Moses & burning bush, the ark, etc.), light, fire, and vomiting (Canaanites in the OT and Laodicean church in the NT).

“Our evangelical emphasis on the atonement is dangerous if we come to it too quickly. We learn to appreciate access to God… only after we have first seen God’s inaccessibility to sinners.”

“The Lord’s Supper, which was instituted by Jesus, and which is the only regular commemorative act authorized by him, dramatizes neither his birth nor his life, neither his words nor his works, but only his death… It was by his death that he wished above all else to be remembered… If the cross is not central to our religion, ours is not the religion of Jesus.”
