What does "God will give justice" reveal about His character and promises? Setting the Scene “ ‘Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them?’ ” (Luke 18:7) God’s Righteous Heart Revealed • Perfectly just: “All His ways are justice.” (Deuteronomy 32:4) • Unchanging in fairness: “I the LORD do not change.” (Malachi 3:6) • Personally involved: He is not a distant judge; He “inclines His ear” (Psalm 116:2). • Compassionate toward sufferers: “He upholds the cause of the oppressed.” (Psalm 146:7) Promises Contained in “God Will Give Justice” • Certain vindication: He will right every wrong done to His people (Isaiah 54:17). • Timely intervention: “At the right time Christ died for the ungodly.” (Romans 5:6); the same timing applies to His justice. • Complete restitution: “He will wipe away every tear.” (Revelation 21:4). • Ultimate triumph of righteousness: “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.” (Psalm 89:14) How This Shapes Daily Life • Confidence replaces fear—wrong will not have the final word. • Perseverance in prayer—like the widow, believers keep calling on Him. • Steadfast obedience—standing for truth is never wasted. • Hope amid suffering—present pain is temporary; divine justice is certain. A Look Forward “Behold, the Judge is standing at the door.” (James 5:9) Until He acts, His sure word anchors faith: God will give justice. |
