God Is Just

Scripture Focus: Isaiah 9:6-7
"Your arm is endued with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of our throne; love and faithfulness go before you" (Psalm 89:13-14).

Children shout it. Adults think it. "It isn't fair!" God created us with heaven in our hearts. In other words, we all long for a place where there is no injustice or inequality. There is such a place, and we can live there eternally. Until then, we will suffer the consequences of sin: ours or another's.

Let us praise God for His justice. Jesus, the Light, reveals every sinful thought, word, and action. Jesus, the Judge, condemns each sinner. Then the Judge steps down and takes the punishment we sinners deserve. By placing our faith in His gift to us, we are made free from condemnation. We are free from sin and its consequences. We are justified.

This is an awesome plan! God's holiness and justice remain intact. His love reigns.

One day God will make everything right. The wicked will no longer prosper. No more will lies and misunderstandings harm people. Truth will triumph. Everything will be fair!
