“The judgment of the wicked is God’s final and everlasting punishment of unrepentant sinners.” God’s righteousness dictates “it would not be righteous to let unrighteousness go unpunished.” “Scripture insists that it is a function of God’s justice to requite every wrong,” identifying judgment as “the necessary vindication of his righteousness.” “Each person will be carefully measured… and assigned the exact judgment fitting to each individual,” since “the punishment must fit the crime.” This culminates “in the torments of hell,” described as “a place of endless punishment and banishment from the gracious presence of God.” This “is the end for those who do not repent of their sins and turn to Christ for salvation.” Finally, “God’s justice demands satisfaction: sin cannot go unpunished. And so to save us Christ took our sin to himself and endured in our place the judgment and infinite wrath of God due us.”
