There’s much injustice in the world these days. At least that’s my perspective, having now observed jurisprudence over the past seven decades.
Society has unfortunately launched the 21st century with a perverse view of what it considers to be just and unjust.
Apparently, many in this brave new world would prefer to offer a smorgasbord approach to Truth. The Judeo-Christian ideology is being challenged left and right.
All we need do is read, watch or listen to our media of choice to recognize the conflicting views toward justice.
We would be wise to take a step back and realize that such a nonsensical approach is destined for destruction. Scripture speaks volumes on the concept of the orderly administration of civilization.
Just look up and marvel at the order of the universe. Everything is in perfect position in order to prevent collisions which could cause constant cataclysmic events.
In Romans 1:20, the Apostle Paul amply explains the Creator’s handiwork:
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
His wonderful creation is right before our eyes to touch and experience every day of our lives. His majesty of creation impacts every aspect of our lives. He is a God of order.
He is a just and fair God.
Since the very beginning, humankind irrationally has blamed Him for disasters amid tragic events in our lives.
There’s no way we can comprehend His immensity and intricacy as He orchestrates all aspects of this universe.
Personally, I’m in awe and look forward to serving the Lord in any way He finds me of value for His good will.
Sadly, some decide to take matters into their own hands and consider their actions to be justified in their eyes.
Others will come alongside, even applauding their zeal in taking the lives of those who they judge to be evil in their eyes.
The Salem Witch Trials is simply one of many examples from our sordid past.
Listen to Paul’s instruction found in Romans 2:1-3:
“You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?”
Yes we live in a fallen, imperfect and unjust world. The good news is God Almighty can be found by all, and He alone is Just!
