Is God Just?


I have heard people complain that God is not just.  They say, “He put us in this place.  He lets us do evil.  And then he condemns us to hell.”  Because of this, they have even grown strong to say there is no God.

Their answer comes back to them:  “You exist as an answer to he who first accused God of being unjust.  So this place was made to test the hearts of those who cannot see the Glory of God; that there will be many who love him despite the evil of this place.

Then to seal the answer, God has sent His Holy Son as a sacrifice for everyone who will believe that God is love, true, faithful, righteous, and merciful.

God asks the question of every man, woman and child: “Are you bold enough to believe Me?”

The Fullness of Christ


It is said in every place, “The Holy Father has given all things into the hands of His Holy Son.”

We read it.  We strive to believe and understand it.  We strive, with all we have to “do” the testimony of it.  But “it” remains beyond our grasp to fully understand that simple statement.

This morning, while I went to that habitual place of reverence to the Lord, He brought to my soul a remarkable understanding.

Now, I’m going to try to relate this using human understandings.  There is no way to relate what is of heaven, in the language of man.  I say this to avoid any possible attacks from some who rightfully strive to defend what is holy and of Christ, their Love.

As to the Glory of Christ Jesus:  If all of heaven were to be utterly destroyed (as if such a thing could happen).  If all of creation were to suddenly perish (yet isn’t that part of the Gospel of Christ?).  Christ Jesus would remain untouched.

The Holy Father has dressed His Holy Son Jesus, in such a manner as to be Sovereign.  What I’m trying to say is that Jesus does not depend on anything in creation, whether of heaven or earth, to secure His standing.  Everything else, absolutely everything else, in heaven and earth relies on Him for “continuing”.  Nothing, and no one else holds any possible equal to the Majesty of Jesus.

He, Jesus, and the Father are ONE.  As God the Father is Sovereign, so it is with the Holy Son.  Grasp this, and your understanding of the Holy One of God changes drastically.   Have it spoken to your soul from the Father Himself, and your entire day just got injected with unshakable strength!

As the understanding covered me this morning, I stood in wonder.  For it came to me dressed in everything I know.  It was not given as if a statement.  I guess man might say it was a revelation from God.  For I struggle so to relate what I perceived.

May God bless you, my beautiful family in Christ, this day.  May He open the volume of Heaven to your holy heart.  May all that His Holy Wisdom desires come upon all His people.  May Christ Jesus dawn in our hearts, that we might hold the strength of testimony due His Holy Name.

May the will of God be done among us all.  For the Glory of His Majestic, Holy, Loving, Patient, Merciful, Just, Righteous, Pure, and Blessed Holy Son!  (In that Jesus has been blessed to be Sovereign, as has always been the Holy Father, it is impossible to exhaust or articulate His Holy Name).

Amen!

Hope!


In your struggle against that sin of addiction, you wake to understand.

Though there was a time when you could not resist; that time “was”.

Look at the guilt you own now.  Notice how you realize that you have become free to choose.

The addiction is gone, while habit remains.

The Lord of life has heard your cries.  He has watched you flail about as you tried to put on righteousness.

And you know something you had only heard of before.  “If He has been merciful to release you from that, He is trustworthy to cause you to stand on that day”.

You are covered with stench but He cares to touch you.

You will find that covering yourself with faith becomes easier now.

All the while, He has been and will be your gloriously white garment forever.

Struggle.  Go ahead, it is necessary, it is appropriate, it is useful before the eyes of God.

Only take note that the work you could never do is being done.  He cares.  He is willing.  He is able.  His righteousness is that big.  And He does not lie.

By His Grace.
