If you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. For God has no favorites. Colossians 3:25
We have all been wronged by somebody at some point in our lives. So what does God’s Word say about seeking justice?
A familiar saying is that “two wrongs don’t make a right, ” so we really ought to be less quick to ask God for justice as our efforts to seek justice may cause God to punish us for our wrongdoings as well.
The same holds true for begging God for fairness, because He may take away what we have to make things ‘fair’ for all.
Instead of following the our legal rules for justice with God, we should instead beg for mercy so we can be saved from the judgment we all rightfully deserve.
Simply put, it’s all because of Jesus Christ that God’s justice allows Him to grant mercy to those whose hearts sincerely love Him.
Thanks be to God for His mercy, kindness, and forgiveness!
