QUESTION: Is God just in choosing to save only some people?
1. God has the right to deal with His creation as He sees fit (, 65)
See and .
God chose to make a covenant with Israel exclusively even when they repeatedly forsook Him.
When his wrath is loosed, many times creation suffers the penalty of man’s sin
a.
He raises up and tears down (Isaiah 45:5-7)
See
b.
Finite man cannot fully understand Infinite God (, 41)
See , and consider Behemoth/Leviathan.
We cannot subdue the great beasts and forces of nature to our liking - how much more are we incapable of taming God!
2. God’s will and judgments come from His character
“Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion."
"Ooh" said Susan.
"I'd thought he was a man.
Is he-quite safe?
I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion"..."Safe?" said Mr Beaver ..."Who said anything about safe?
'Course he isn't safe.
But he's good.
He's the King, I tell you.” - C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
- C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
He is not safe, He’s not supposed to be / Your gonna want somebody wild and dangerous on your side / When you face your one true enemy / Only a fierce and reckless love is gonna save your life / The Lord is good, but make no mistake / He is not safe - Ross King, He is not Safe
Your gonna want somebody wild and dangerous on your side
When you face your one true enemy
Only a fierce and reckless love is gonna save your life
The Lord is good, but make no mistake
He is not safe
a. God is just, and will not clear the guilty ()
C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
See .
God judges the hearts of men and though he may forestall His judgement to permit opportunity for repentance, the judgement comes when He wills it - no one escapes it.
b.
God is merciful, and chooses to spare some rather than destroy all (, )
See also , , .
The judgments of the Lord are swift and terrible, but He always chooses to preserve a remnant to restore (Noah, Elijah/prophets of Baal, The Babylonian Exile).
