Subject: Is God really just? |
Bible Note: Thanks, Nolan For clearing that up. But the question if this thread is a question that people sincerely ask, and that the Bible answers. The Bible teaches that God is just, as ArtS rightly references. And as in Tim's reference, Paul takes time to argue and defend the truth of the Gospel that God is not being unjust when he justifies the believer. "...so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." Rom 3:26 You write, "Who are we to say that God is just or unjust, or to even speculate on it?" ArtS is asking a question. He is not affirming that God is unjust. Let's take time to give a biblical answer to a question the Bible itself addresses that we might build up one another in the truth of God's Word. Jesus took the believers place before God's justise and bore the wrath of God(the wages of sin is death) in the stead of believers. God's justice is thereby satisfied in the death of Christ for his people. (Another name for the Atonement in is the Satisfaction.) Hense, God remains just while justifying the believing sinner.
