GOD LOVES JUDGEMENT

The concept of God loving judgment is intricately woven into the fabric of biblical theology, emphasizing His righteousness and justice. Isaiah 26:9 declares, "For when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." This verse underscores the belief that God's judgments serve a purpose: to instruct humanity in righteousness.


In the broader context of Isaiah 26, the prophet speaks of a day when the Lord's justice will be evident, bringing peace and security to those who trust in Him. Isaiah 26:8 states, "Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O Lord, we have waited for You; the desire of our soul is for Your name and for the remembrance of You." This longing for God's judgments reflects a deep understanding that His decisions are always just and aimed at correcting wrongs and establishing divine order.


The theme of God's love for justice is echoed throughout the Bible. Psalm 33:5 proclaims, "He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord." Here, God's love for justice is linked with His goodness, suggesting that His judgments are inherently good and beneficial for creation.


Moreover, in Jeremiah 9:24, the Lord says, "But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight, says the Lord." This verse highlights that God delights in judgment when it is coupled with lovingkindness and righteousness, revealing His character as both just and compassionate.


The New Testament also affirms God's righteous judgments. In Revelation 19:1-2, a great multitude in heaven praises God, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments." This heavenly declaration confirms that God's judgments are met with approval and worship, underscoring their fairness and truth.


In conclusion, God's love for judgment is a reflection of His desire for righteousness and justice to prevail on earth. Through His judgments, He teaches humanity righteousness, establishes order, and manifests His inherent goodness. This divine justice is always balanced with His lovingkindness, demonstrating a God who is both just and merciful.

  Peter's declaration of God's judgement over Ananais and Sapphira in Acts 5 brought about the fear of God upon the church . The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

PRAYER : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome evil .
