The frustrated cry of "that's not fair!" has been heard and felt by people the world over. There's no doubt that we agonize over injustice. What do we do, how do we think, when it appears justice isn't ever going to happen? Join Chip for his talk on God's justice.

Introduction: Two questions – that disturb believers and unbelievers alike

  1. Why do bad things happen to good people?
  2. Why do good things happen to bad people?

The real issue is... “Life is not fair!”

The deeper question is... “Does that mean God’s not fair?”

Defining the justice of God

  • Revealed through Abraham -Genesis 18:25
  • Revealed through the Psalmist -Psalm 97:2

How does God reveal His justice to us?

  1. Through the NATURAL order -Romans 1:18-20
  2. Through the HUMAN HEART -Romans 2:15-16
  3. Through His role as JUDGE -Hebrews 12:23, 2 Timothy 4:8, John 5:22
  4. Through the CROSS -Romans 3:25-26, 1 Peter 3:18
  5. Through the promise of ETERNAL retribution: For Believers -1 Corinthians 3:10-15, For Unbelievers -Hebrews 9:27

How are we to respond to God’s justice?

  1. CHOOSE to embrace Jesus today as your Savior rather than meet Him as your righteous Judge later. -John 5:22-24, 1 Peter 3:18
  2. REFUSE to take revenge when treated unjustly knowing God and God alone is judge. -Romans 12:17-21
  3. TAKE COMFORT when you encounter injustice knowing God will balance the scales either in this life of the next. -Psalm 73
  4. MEDITATE DEEPLY on the reality of the Judgement Seat of Christ and the promise of spiritual rewards.
