In the end, it's all about who God is, isn't it? He is the only truly stationary truth there is, and everything we understand is chained back to who He is. PS- Carson is my living hero...

It could be because we ourselves are guilty of underestimating God's hatred of it and perhaps are much too comfortable with our relative "goodnesses." Each of us would love our Saviour more if we recognized the awfulness of our sin and the precious price paid by Him to reconcile us to Himself. When we really grasp the truth that God is righteously angry and we are rightly objects of wrath, then we will worship and witness with an intensity before unrealized.
