What The Bible Promises To DoSample

 God Promises His Word to be Justice-Rendering 

The judgments of the Lord set a path of justice through human history that will ultimately right every wrong and silence every rebel.

God’s Word promises justice. Deep within the heart of every person on the face of the earth is a sense of right and wrong and a longing for justice—both personally and in our world. God made us to look for and long for true justice.

Psalm 19:9b says, “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether” (NKJV). Sometimes we might suppress that God-given hunger for justice, but then we see crime and evil in our society escalating at a sickening pace, and our yearning for justice can become terrifically difficult to handle.

So how do you cope with this? The only way I know is to keep in mind that we have a God of perfect justice.

“The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” The word “judgments” describes God’s verdicts, pronouncements of consequence, and punishment for sin. When God makes a judgment, it is true and altogether righteous. Though the final judgment of God will happen in the future, the Bible tells us what His verdicts will be. God is not capricious like our human judges; He doesn’t operate according to His moods or personal circumstances. We can be confident that the Lord will judge fairly, precisely, and consistently with all He has told us in Scripture—at exactly the right time.
