Micah 6:8, He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? ---------- More and more, we live in a world and are saturated by a culture that attempts to further and further blur the lines between what is right and wrong... between what is acceptable and unacceptable... between what is appropriate and inappropriate. ---------- The only way we can truly keep our "spiritual wits" about us, is to remain grounded in the simple truth that God alone is the true standard of justice. This Sunday, we will touch on the foundational aspect of God's character.
Episode Notes
(Journal) John 3:18, Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
(Journal) John 5:30, I can do nothing on My own. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is just, because I seek not My own will but the will of Him who sent Me.
Big Idea: God’s justice is not blind…. But it is perfect.
Judge: Pronounce right and wrong.
1. Perfect justice shows no favoritism.
Colossians 3:25, For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.
2. Perfect justice does not ignore sin.
Hebrews 9:22, Indeed, under the Law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
3. Perfect justice has been satisfied.
1st Peter 3:18, For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
Micah 6:8, He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Next Step: Embrace a clear sene of right and wrong…
But do so with kindness and humility.
