The Justice of God

The Justice of God

Habakkuk 2

In this sermon, we explore the profound theme of divine justice from Habakkuk 2, where God's response to evil is both a promise and a warning. God instructs Habakkuk to write the vision plainly, ensuring it is understood that justice, though seemingly delayed, will come. The sermon contrasts the proud, who amass wealth unjustly, with the righteous who live by faith, underscoring that God's justice addresses all forms of human sin and greed. It delves into how God's wrath is not mere anger but a deep, loving response to protect His creation from the ravages of sin. Pastor Matthew highlights that while God is slow to anger, He is also just, promising that every act of injustice will be met with divine retribution. Through Christ, we see this justice intertwined with mercy, where sin's punishment is borne by Jesus, offering forgiveness to those who repent. Ultimately, the message is one of hope for the oppressed and a call to repentance for the sinner, reminding us that God's justice and love are two sides of the same divine coin.
