Back to the 90s Week 2

We desire justice & God hates sin.

God do something about all this injustice.

Psalm 94:1–3 NLT

1 O Lord, the God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, let your glorious justice shine forth! 2 Arise, O Judge of the earth. Give the proud what they deserve. 3 How long, O Lord? How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?

We live in a fallen world. People judge wrongly.

People don’t think God cares. They lack understanding.

God sees all things and will judge all.

People live their life as if no one will hold them accountable.

We will answer for our actions.

Psalm 94:7–9 NLT

7 “The Lord isn’t looking,” they say, “and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care.” 8 Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on? 9 Is he deaf—the one who made your ears? Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?

God knows our heart

Psalm 94:11 NLT

11 The Lord knows people’s thoughts; he knows they are worthless!

We are imperfect people living amoung imperfect people.

Even when we see injustice, we need to first check our own hearts.

Jeremiah 17:9 NLT

9 “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?

Even in our attempts to judge injustice, we can do it with the wrong intent.

Its important to stand up for wrong doing, but lets do it with a heart thats been checked by the ultimate judge, God.

God will hold all accountable

Psalm 94:23 NLT

23 God will turn the sins of evil people back on them. He will destroy them for their sins. The Lord our God will destroy them.

Matthew 25:41 CSB

41 “Then he will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!

There will be a point that you and I will look Jesus in the eye.

What will He say to you?

Will he say welcome or depart?

You have a choice, Jesus died and took your judgement, but if you don’t accept it, his judgement is still on you.
