Is God's final judgment an act of cruelty—or the ultimate expression of justice and mercy? What if the destruction of sin isn't passive—but a deliberate, sovereign act of God?
Christians do not engage in "blind faith!" We believe, because God is believe-able. Faith is the rational response to a God this faithful. To open up the month of August, we'll get into some interesting discussions about both the faithfulness and the justice of Heaven, and how there might seem to be tension between those aspects of the divine nature... after we've wrapped up last week's talk on God's inescapable presence.

Malachi 2:17-3:6 Pastor Stefan Nitzschke
What if the judgment of God was never the threat you were told it was? This week, Pastor Joshua Brown unpacks Isaiah 42 to show that God's judgment over his creation was declared in Genesis 1, and the verdict was "very good," which means his justice was never aimed at you; it was aimed at everything keeping you from that original design. If you've spent your life fearing a God who condemns, this message will reintroduce you to the God who redeems.
Today we will look at Psalm 64 and what I am calling the Poetic Justice of God. How does this make us free to do good? Why does God work this way?

Justice of God defined. • • • The justice of God is “that essential and infinite attribute which makes his nature and his ways the perfect embodiment of equity, and constitutes him the model and the guardian of equity throughout the universe” (ATS Bible Dictionary, 1859) • • • 2. Justice of God demonstrated. • • • In the Garden Genesis 3:21-24 At the Cross Romans 3:25-26 Through Retribution Matthew 12:36-37 John 5:24 2 Corinthians 5:10 • • • Genesis 3:21-24 ESV 21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. 22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. 24 He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life. • • • Romans 3:25-26 ESV 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith.

They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. • • • Romans 12:17-19 ESV 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” • • • Micah 6:8 ESV 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? • • • Application: I will thank the Lord because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

Exposition of Genesis 18:25
In this powerful Easter message, John explores the profound and often misunderstood meaning of Jesus' death on the cross. Looking beyond simple explanations, this talk unpacks several key ways Christians have understood the cross—including Jesus as our example, sacrifice, victor, and ultimately our representative.
Series: N/AService: Sun AMType: SermonSpeaker: John Pollard
The sermon, rooted in Romans 5 and the Heidelberg Catechism's doctrine of human misery, affirms that humanity's fall was not due to God's injustice but to Adam's willful disobedience, instigated by the devil, which plunged all humanity into sin and death. Though God is perfectly just and rightly angry with sin—both original and personal—He does not overlook it, for sin against His holy majesty demands eternal punishment, as revealed in Scripture and confirmed by the reality of hell as a place of conscious, eternal torment. Yet even in this sobering truth, the gospel shines: God is not only just but also merciful, revealing His justice and grace in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who bore the penalty for sin and imputes His righteousness to believers. The cross, therefore, stands as the ultimate expression of divine justice and mercy, where God's wrath is satisfied and His love is fully displayed, calling all to repent and trust in Christ alone for salvation.

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud Hance Scripture reference Genesis 18:25; Deut. 10:17; Ps. 19:9; Ps. 97:2; Rev. 16:5-7 Genesis 18:25 PP 25 ….Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Deuteronomy 10:17 PP 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe. Psalm 19:9 PP 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. Psalm 97:2 PP 2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Revelation 16:5-7 PP 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” 7 And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”
This summer, we will delve into the Psalms for seven weeks, exploring this collection of hymns, prayers, and poems that reveal what it means to live in relationship with God. Honest and raw about life's difficulties yet theologically profound, the Psalms remind us of God's character, actions, and promises. John Calvin called them "a mirror for the soul" due to their piercing honesty, while Augustine noted, "they don't just speak to us, they speak for us.” NT Wright wrote, “Sing the Psalms and they will renew you from head to toe, from heart to mind. Pray these poems, and they will sustain you on the long, hard, but exhilarating road of Christian discipleship.” Our hope is that as we soak in the Psalms this Summer, they will serve as a guide, helping us understand God's heart, promises, and purpose for our lives.
The Justice of God in the Justification of Sinners
The Justice Of God | Revelation - Part 2 | Encounter Church by Encounter Church
The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life!This week Pastor Joel continues Part 2 of his message series in the book of the Bible called Romans, “Bold Faith That Wins”. This week, Joel continues to look at one of the most controversial texts in the Bible, Romans chapter 9. In verses 14-29 we see a two-fold reminder: 1) Our perception does not determine reality, particularly when it comes to justice. 2) And that the universe does not revolve around me. Remember who you are, who God is, who God makes us to be, and what could have been. This is a special four part series that will span the year of 2025.LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Recommended reading for this series• The Abstract of Principles, 1859; Westminster Confession, 1646; Baptist Faith and Message, 1963, 2000; Hymn “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior”; C.S.

The post The Justice of God – Lamentations 2: 1-22 appeared first on Red Village Church.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Hopeful yet Heavy Justice of God” from 2 Thessalonians 1:3-12. It irks us when we see injustice happening around us. Yet, when Jesus returns, God tells us that there will be a complete and final justice that He will hand down to all of humanity. A justice that will be permanent…a justice that brings hope to each Christ
