but is also the RIGHTEOUSNESS AGAINST which those who hate his grace will BE MEASURED and found infinitely wanting, the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

Woah, that is driving the point home. I was told once we would be judged according to the many blessings given to us. With the freedom of religion and the opportunities to buy and study His word, not to mention all the physical blessings, that sounded frightening enough, but being judged against the righteousness of Christ is a fearful thing indeed. Good point and something to be repeated often.
