Biblical Justice Explained

|
| Pastor Steve, what does biblical justice look like? | |
| Biblical justice looks just like, you know, in biblical, it looks like what the Bible does. | |
| I mean, the cross is a picture of biblical justice. | |
| Amen. | |
| Isn't it? | |
| Amen. | |
| If God was not into justice, we would not have the cross. | |
| That's right. | |
| So sin has to be punished, and Jesus took the punish for our sins. | |
| That is a form of biblical justice. | |
| If we would receive that, then we have been absolved and we have been cleared of our guilt. | |
| However, it was still punished on Jesus. | |
| If you look at biblical justice in the Old Testament, you see it many times. | |
| You saw Elijah, who's actually called to come in the end time, and he called down fire on the prophets of Baal. | |
| They were unrepentant. | |
| They were leading the nation astray. | |
| Sounds like America today. | |
| Where's the spirit of Elijah? | |
| But to call down fire, you have to be able to stand in the fire you call on. | |
| So this is where repentance, the heart of love, grace, forgiveness, all of that is necessary, but it's not the end goal. | |
| The end goal is we're about to be welcoming the Lord Jesus Christ as the judge. | |
| And this characteristic of Jesus has been hidden from the church, that he is not just a righteous friend, but he is a judge of the living and the dead. | |
| And we've been given that power. | |
| 1 Corinthians chapter 6 says, know you not that you shall judge angels. | |
| How much more you should judge the things pertaining to this life? | |
| So right now, we're not seeing the church act in a just way. | |
| If you take a simple case like family issues and divorce, what do pastors now say? | |
| They say, well, I'm not qualified to help you. | |
| Please go and pay some psychologists. | |
| And then you get German philosophy and psychology, and it messes up the marriage. | |
| We should be coming back to the Bible. | |
| Parenting, marriage, divorce, business, all of these things, we are the answer in Christ. | |
| We have the answers. | |
| And it goes all the way up to the injustices that Donald Trump is facing, the injustices of an election that lacks transparency, that you cannot even question on big tech and social media, the censorship of very well-known Christians and conservatives. | |
| These are all issues of injustice. | |
| And if I can add, Trump, the main reason he was raised up is he's an agent of justice. | |
| Like him or hate him. | |
| Whether you think his tweets are mean, what is he about? | |
| Why is he here? | |
| Because God called him to be an agent of justice. | |
| Whenever he touches on that, boy, he has success. | |
| When he ignores it, he gets clobbered. | |
| He gets legal lawfare. | |
| And they're trying to bankrupt him right now. | |
