Most People Would Say That The Opposite Of JUSTICE Is Injustice, But Thats Not Correct. The Right Answer

Most people would say that the opposite of JUSTICE is Injustice, but that’s not correct. The right answer is MERCY.

From God’s points of view, we are all guilty of not being righteous and are all deserving of judgment (Romans 2:12) and punishment for our sin (Romans 6:23). This is the essence of God’s righteous and JUST JUDGEMENT.

God in His Holiness cannot be with those that are against HIS nature, but our HUMAN nature is the exact opposite! By default we as people want to do what WE want and be self-directed. Sadly what most people cannot see, understand, or accept is that this is the road that always “...leads to destruction” which unfortunately the majority of people will insist on following (Matthew 7:13). Conversely, the opposite of MERCY is JUSTICE and that justice has a consequence.

God is completely justified in executing judgement, but He is much more a God of Love and Forgiveness and graciously extends the freedom that comes with His MERCY to all those that are repentant and are tender hearted towards Him.

So today, which have you chosen to receive?

GOD’s MERCY or GOD’s JUDGEMENT

Modern science (which we are supposed to always trust and “Follow”) says that there was this “Big Bang,” and over billions of years a hot rock evolved into an orbit around the sun, cooled, formed primordial chemicals in a swamp and somehow, someway (that no one can explain...) 'life' began, and eventually all animals, plants and humans just 'evolved.' The Gospel of Darwin thus teaches that Darwin+Rock=YOU, and not that silly religious superstition you are a creation of God in “His Image” [ Genesis 1:26 ] If you follow and believe that line of thinking, then you believe your life is based upon a ROCK.

However there is another ROCK on which we are built ON and FROM, and that is Christ. As today’s scripture tells us, those lives that are built UPON (not 'evolved from') an inanimate rock will stand long after this third rock from the sun is long gone.

While the earth may be around a lot longer that you will, if your life is based upon the rock, which is Christ, when the storms of this life and the last storm of death beat upon you, then your foundation will eternally stand.

Friend, base your life on the TRUE ROCK which is Christ, because He is the only foundation that will last forever.

Is your life FROM a rock or built ON a Rock?

The now classic “Terminator” movies foretold of a future where advanced computers and robots would become self-aware, rebel against the people that created them, and turn to be the enemy of mankind. Today, with extremely high-speed networking, massive storage, sophisticated robotics and immense computational capability combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) software, we may in fact be close to a 'SkyNET' moment when our creation will rebel against US.

While this destructive future may soon become a reality, We (also) as the CREATED have rebelled against Our CREATOR. Once Adam and Eve believed the lie that they also would “Be Like God” [ Genesis 3:5,7 ] they too became 'Self-Aware' and rebelled against their Creator. In the Book Of Revelation as well as many Old Testament prophecies, it details how people in the end times will rebel against God in the ultimate hope of destroying Him who created them.

The truth of the matter is that just like the T-800 robot in “Terminator 2” we too have all rebelled against our CREATOR, and that is what the Bible calls SIN. In our self-awareness, we likewise — in our self-aware programming — believe ourselves to be independent beings where our 'Natural Intelligence' says we are free to do as we please, and NOT as our creator originally created us to be.

Like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s robot character in Terminator 2, we can likewise be re-programmed to do good and obey the instructions of Him who created us:

“Do not be conformed to this world,

But be transformed by the REWEWAL OF YOUR MIND, That by testing you may Discern what is the will of God, What is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT.” - Romans 12:2

Whether you are a Christian —or not yet a believer — transform your mind. Don’t be like the T-800. Put your old thinking aside and put on the perfect mind of God as He originally created you to be!

Why are we to believe that the Creator of the world loves or even cares about us? After all, if He is God and is so almighty and eternal, why should He care about us seemingly insignificant people(??) But no matter what you might think, please know that that it is not true. God is always on our side, and He is always pursuing all of us, and not only that - He is certainly pursuing YOU.

Regardless who you are or where you are in the world, God knows and cares all about your life. Even when you are at a low point and can’t see good, He is there still waiting patiently and seeking your attention. Maybe you sinned and made grievous mistakes and that sin has obscured your view of God. If you are unable to accept His love, then something in your life is missing The Apostle Paul said:

“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ; by grace, you have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4-5

Think on this when you can’t accept that He is and has been seeking you. Not only you, but all of us from the beginning of time.

God gave His son Jesus to the world for all of us – and for you too. That sacrifice is love beyond measure and is immensely remarkable. That’s why God is pursuing you. He knows that we will sin and mess things up and He knows our strengths and our weaknesses...but guess what?!? Our failures and daily mistakes will never create a divider where God will forsake us. The Apostle Paul also wrote:

“Neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-29

When doubt comes that God has forsaken you, return to this promise and remember you can always return to Him no matter what because He created you and takes delight in you. You were born with a set of gifts that were meant to expand the mission of Christ and to enjoy the fruits of your labor. He is actually rejoicing over you!

“He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing.” Zephaniah 3:17

The Lord is pleased and is happy that you are His! Never, ever forget this... God Is Always Pursuing YOU!

I walked by a shop recently that featured a window display of famous books. Each was covered in a brown-paper wrapper with a short comment about it, however it was the synopsis written on the Bible that was disturbing, simply saying “Religious Viewpoint” and “Violence.” This is an increasingly popular view today in categorizing the bible (often written with a small 'b') as a book from a dark, past time in human history that has no place in this modern, enlightened age. If this is your way of thinking, you’d be well advised to take another look because actually the exact opposite truth of the Bible is that this is the ultimate amazing life-saving story to redeem the world and everyone in it from Rebellion to Restoration with God.

Unlike the other books in this window, this - The Greatest Of All Books - tells a story far deeper and more important than any other. Not only is it a mistake to dismiss it as the false views of ages past, it is even a bigger mistake to mock and dismiss it as just one of many misguided “Religious Viewpoints.”

Friend, do not dismiss or mock this book or the warning it is giving you in today’s scripture! If there is any one book in the 'bookstore window of life' that you must read and understand that will lift you from PUNISHMENT to PROMOTION it is This One.

If there was one underlying principle of God it is this of God it is this - Listen, Heed, and then DO what we have heard when we hear it. That inner voice telling us what we should do is our conscience which comes from the Latin “conscientia” which means “a joint knowledge of something,” where your spirit intersects with God’s spirit. As today’s verse promises, when we heed that voice, it will always reward us, but failure to do so or putting it off will have a consequence.

Years ago I was planning on taking a long distance trip in my car, but noticed that it was leaking a little radiator fluid from the water pump. My inner voice told me to get it fixed before I left, but I delayed and decided to get it repaired at my destination. Well sure enough Delayed Obedience is DISOBEDIENCE and the water pump failed along the way resulting in an even bigger repair and a costly delay.

Friend, when you hear that still small steady voice telling you what you know you should do, do not delay but act TODAY because...

IMMEDIATE Obedience is Always REWARDED, but DELAYED Obedience will always be THWARTED.
