God’s Intimacy; Hate

When God is most intimate his sovereignty is most firmly established and his justice most fearful.

The Christian should not fear God’s intimacy for that justice and wrath is consumed in Christ. But the paradox of the relationship is this: in a sinful world true love is ethically described as hate. For God loved the world in such a way: he caused his son to become a part of the world so that he could kill him. This is God’s intimacy.
