Who Is God?Sample

God’s justice and righteousness
God is completely just. He will not overlook evil or let wickedness go unpunished. This is a good thing. We can know that whatever happens on this earth, justice will be done. The person who does great evil but lives an easy life and dies peacefully will not escape punishment. However, God’s justice is also devastating for humanity, for all have sinned and the just punishment for sin is death.
But Romans tells us that through Christ’s sacrifice, God is both just and the justifier of those who have faith in Jesus. The cross is the answer to the problem. Because Jesus took the just punishment for sin, God is able to both remain just and forgive those who have faith in him.
Would God be a good God if he could just ‘forgive and forget’ without any consequences? Why/Why not?
Prayer:
Thank you God for your justice. Thank you that the wrongs of this world will be made right, that you don’t turn a blind eye to injustice. Thank you that you have made a way for me to be shown mercy – I don’t get what I deserve but that Jesus has taken my punishment for me. I pray others might also find Jesus that they too would be forgiven. Amen.
