Is Justice Your Friend Or Foe?

“But let justice run down like waters and righteousness as a mighty and ever-flowing stream.” The Lord was not happy with the Israelites in this text. They were worshipping idols and carrying on without a sense of righteousness on their minds. They were a stiff neck people after God delivered them out of Egypt. He was also giving them a way out of their wrong doings but many died unnecessarily from disobedience. Today we live in the dispensation of Grace. Today God isn’t striking you down for immediate justice but, we will all have to give an account for all we do and say in the end (Matthew 12:36). For justice to roll on like a river today in our lives, we must be God inside minded. Being human means we are not always aware of how we’re doing concerning being right with God. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Aside from the Lord’s help, we could easily be drawn into something that takes us off track. We are justified by faith, and we have peace with God because of Jesus’ finished work at calvary (Romans 5:1). The day of justice is coming for all of us. Make sure your thing with God is tight. He is a God of love, but justice must always be satisfied, sooner or later. It’s not ok to ignore this message concerning your right standing with God. Become the righteousness of God like a never failing stream.
