~ God Is A God Of Justice ~
This
Series ~ This
series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God. Generally, we move in alphabetical order.
Introduction ~ Many
people confuse justice, grace, and mercy. Justice is about getting what
is deserved. Mercy is not getting
something bad which is deserved. Grace is getting something good which
you do not deserve. God is a God of all three and is the best judge of when to
administer which of the three.
Scripture ~ “He
[God] is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a
God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He”
(Deuteronomy 32:4).
“The
Lord is righteous, He loves justice; upright men will see his face”
(Psalm 11:7 niv).
“The
Lord is King forever and ever; the nations have perished out of His land. Lord,
You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will
cause Your ear to hear, to do justice to the fatherless and the
oppressed, that the man of the earth may oppress no more” (Psalm 10:16-18).
“The
Lord Almighty will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will show
himself holy by His righteousness” (Isaiah 5:16 niv).
Quote ~ “Suppose
ten people sin and sin equally. Suppose
God punishes five of them and is merciful to the other five. Is this injustice? No! In
this situation five people get justice and five get mercy. No one gets injustice.” R.C. Sproul
