Deuteronomy 32:3-4 (New International Version, ©2010)
3 I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God!
4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
Pastor Peter closed out the HD series by giving us an eternal and immediate view of justice. Justice is important to God because it is a nature of Him and has been instilled in every being. God created all mankind equally in value, and judges us by our actions, not our perceived external values. Because we follow a just God, we must thus uphold justice. By speaking for the oppressed, we will be pointing to God and making Jesus more tangible. When we relate to God, however, we actually want injustice. We are beings who routinely fail and sin, and deserve eternal separation from Him. However, we ask for His grace – an unjust verdict. If we accept his unjust grace of salvation, we will face an unjust eternal life with Him. We can help others learn of his unjust love by causing justice in this world.
