We Serve A Fair God

We Serve A Fair God "Thus by their fruit you will recognize them." Matthew 7:20 We don’t serve a ‘nice’ God, but a stern God. We don’t serve an ‘anything goes’ God, but a jealous God. We serve a God of loving-kindness, but His kindness demands repentance. We serve a God who is love, but is a God of vengeance, which is reserved for His enemies, those who do not obey Him. We serve a God who rewards those who believe He exists and do His bidding, but for the unbeliever there is readied a place of torment. Our God is love, but love has no part in evil. He is light, and light banishes the darkness. He has made pestilence and plague, but He heals our bodies and blesses the earth with rain. He rains on one field, on one land; and He withholds unto withering and dust, another. He made man and said, “Multiply and fill the earth,” and when man turned against Him He destroyed all that breathed, but preserved eight souls. He chose Abraham, who became a people who were blessed, and when they disobeyed Him, He sold them into captivity to cruel masters. God appointed Moses to lead them out of their slavery, and with His mighty hand performed miracles which saved them and provided for them. When they grumbled against Him, He threatened to destroy every one of them and start over with the man who had bravely led them out of their troubles and who interceded with the Lord not to kill them. When they despised His commands and did evil in His sight; and instead of destroying them He chastened them and promised them another deliverer. He sent a Savior, whose name is Jesus, who was the Lamb of God. Why did Jesus, when on earth ask, “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” He knew man, and what was in their hearts. And He gave His all to give them new hearts, hearts of ‘flesh’ and not of ‘stone.’ Jesus is coming again, and will judge you, be prepared. Robert W.
