Justice Described
This is difficult. This makes us uncomfortable. It is so easy for us focus on the pleasant attributes of God. To focus on His love and restoration He offers to us. It is so much more difficult to learn about God’s justice. It puts us in our place. Having a healthy understanding of the true depravity of humanity allows us to truly appreciate the significance of Jesus’ sacrifice for us.

There are three words from Scripture that stand out when we examine the justice of God. The first is that God’s justice is impartial. God judges all equally. We’ve all been given a standard of perfection that He requires us to keep. The second word is inescapable. There is nothing we can do on our own to get away from God’s judgement. We will all stand before the Lord when our time is over and give an account for how we spent our time on Earth. And our last word is that his justice is infallible. This should give us comfort. Infallible means that He is incapable of making a mistake. So when God judges, we can trust that He will judge correctly 100 percent of the time.
