God IS Fair!

¹⁷ “Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just. ¹⁸ If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, they will die for it. ¹⁹ And if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live by doing so. ²⁰ Yet you Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to your own ways.”-Ezekiel 33:17-18

Charles Spurgeon once said, “Avoid a sugar coated gospel”. And he was right! How many times have we seen those who do as they wish and think it doesn’t matter? How many times have we done that ourselves?

It’s not that God will not forgive us for our sins. Through Jesus, He will. But to be forgiven, we do need to actually repent of our sins, not be proud of them!

Salvation is a wonderful Gift that God gave us. But that doesn’t mean that we get to do whatever we feel like, when we feel like it. And it doesn’t mean we get to abuse God’s Grace.

The Bible gives us a Roadmap on how to lives our lives. We don’t get to just ignore it on purpose and forever, and then count on God’s forgiveness. That would not be Fair-or Just.

And as Merciful as God is, He is also equally Just. The above verse from Ezekiel 33 is clear on that.

God is Merciful, but He will alway be equally Just!
