JUSTICE (3)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Bible Topic
a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.
2. Justice
a) Justice says we deserve death, because we are sinners. It’s in the Bible, Romans 6:23, NKJV. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
b) Christ was treated unfairly to bring us back to God. It’s in the Bible, 1 Peter 3:18, NKJV. “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit”
c) Jesus was treated as we deserved, that we might be treated as He deserved. It’s in the Bible, 2 Corinthians 5:21, NKJV. “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
d) Trials come to us, and in them we taste what Christ went through to save us. It’s in the Bible, 1 Peter 4:12-13, NKJV. “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”
e) Trust God to take care of justice. It’s in the Bible, Romans 12:19-20, “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord. Therefore ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.’”
