Malachi 2:17 (AMP)
You have wearied the Lord with your words. Yet you say, In what
way have we wearied Him? [You do it when by your actions] you say, who does evil is good in the sight
of the Lord and He delights in them. Or [by asking], Where is the
God of justice?
Divine Justice
Jeremiah 33:14-1614 ‘Behold, days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 -‘In those days and at that
time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to spring forth; and He shall
execute justice and righteousness on the earth.
Divine Justice
Jeremiah 33:14-1616 -‘In those days Judah will be
saved and Jerusalem will dwell in safety; and this is the name by
which she will be called: the LORD is our righteousness.
Knowing Good from Evil
The Law Given
Justified
Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV)
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed,
being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the
righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;
Justified
Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV)
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being
justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus,
Justified
Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV)
25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through
faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His
forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,
Justified
Romans 3:21-26 (NKJV)
26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who
has faith in Jesus.
Divine Justice
Romans 6:1-2, 141 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace
may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? … 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not
under law but under grace
Divine Justice
Romans 1-5… 5 emphasis justification by grace
through faith, apart from works of the law.
Romans 6 starts an emphasis that justification is not a license to sin, nor is it saying there is no right or wrong
Divine Justice
2 Corinthians 3:2-3 (NKJV)
2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written
not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of
the heart.
Divine Justice
The Word of God is living Not letter, but spirit alive in your
heart
Divine Justice
1. The Bible is without error
2 Peter 1:20-21 (NKJV)
20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for
prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as
they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
2. The Bible is absolute truth
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV)
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but
according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves
teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be
turned aside to fables.
RELATIVISM
RELATIVISM - a theory that knowledge is relative to the limited nature of the mind and the conditions of knowing, a view that ethical truths depend on the individuals and groups holding them
Sounds like the Knowledge of Good and Evil
RELATIVISM
There is no absolute Right or True; there are only beliefs which are ‘right’ or ‘true’ relative to the culture in which they are held
RELATIVISM
Filled our education system for a generation
No Bible, No Prayer, Do not say that is sin
Times change… Need to accept people… Who gives you the right to
judge… Hater
RELATIVISM
Yes, we (the Church) have done things wrong
Absolute Truth
The enemy has filled the minds of most of this culture with the indoctrination that no one has the right to tell anyone else what is right or wrong… Or: don’t judge (We judge all by
the Bible)… Or: you sin also…
Absolute Truth
The truth has been sacrificed at the altar of “nice”
God is calling for a bold remnant to raise up, and yes, to be armed with love… but also truth!
Absolute Truth
Psalm 119:160 (NKJV)
The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous
judgments endures forever.
False Religions (adding anything to be equal with the Bible)
Absolute Truth
John 17:17 (NKJV)
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
3. The Bible is inspired by God.
2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
Inspiration - God-breathed
Divine Justice has been revealed to us through the
Word of God
