Dear friend,
Please, please, please, I beg of you: Believe all the Bible says about the righteous judgment of God.
God is perfectly holy, righteous and good so please know He is actively working to fix all of the situations in your life (and in this world) that are broken, evil and unjust.
Please do not for a moment begin to believe that God is going to leave wickedness unaddressed. His holiness and His love would NEVER allow that.
Don’t ever forget that God is being patient with you (and others as well) giving many opportunities to repent. (Praise be to God for His patience!)
I cling to the promise that God does not leave us alone in our brokenness, sinfulness and selfishness.
We must always also remember that just as sure as He loves us, so also He WILL always pour out all of His loving power to deliver humanity and the rest of His creation from the enemies of sin, evil, darkness and worldliness.
Therefore, when God says that something is unhealthy or unholy, He will absolutely pour forth His power to deliver His beloved from that thing which is causing harm.
But you and I also WILL stand under God’s holy judgement IF we decide to call evil things good or good things evil. And furthermore, if we cling to what is evil and refuse to let go we also will find ourselves under His judgment.
You and I thank Him for His judgment that means violent offenders and tyrants and mass murderers and back-stabbers will answer for their sins, but please, please, please remember that all sin will come under judgement (including yours and mine!)
The answer is this: let go of sin, don’t hold on to selfishness or wickedness. Don’t participate in the deeds of darkness. Don’t buy the lies of the world or follow the lusts of the world.
Please, rather than passing judgment on another person for their sins, confess your own so that you will receive the forgiveness and redemption of the Lord.
Trust me, God is even now judging all that is broken and wicked, but there is coming a day when all people will see His power and judgment in full force. And on that day I want to be covered and redeemed by the blood of Jesus and changed by His forgiveness, His grace and His Spirit.
Please, don’t trifle with the righteous judgments of God.
And please believe all that God has said about how He is actively working to fix all of the situations in your life (and in this world) that are broken, evil and unjust.
I praise God (and fear God!) for His righteous and holy judgement.
