JUDGES APPOINTED OF MEN & ORDAINED BY GOD (2)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Judgment

a) We noted that there are 400 Bible verses for any form of the words that make up judgment. Nearly 1,000 hits were received for love, mercy and grace together. So we can say that although our God is full of love, mercy and grace, He is also a righteous Creator and therefore must sometimes execute judgment.

2. Judges Appointed of Men And Ordained By God


2 Chronicles 19:8 
Moreover, in Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed certain Levites and priests and heads of families of Israel, to give judgment for the LORD and to decide disputed cases. They had their seat at Jerusalem.

Proverbs 20:7-9 
The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!  A king who sits on the throne of judgment  winnows all evil with his eyes. Who can say, “I have made my heart pure;  I am clean from my sin”?

Romans 13:1-3 
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same.


The End ...
