Manage episode 449321382 series 3324262
In this message, we delve into a profound theological question: "Is God fair?" Drawing from Acts 10: 34 - 43, and we examine the nature of God's justice, mercy and addresses a criticism about God being fair. We seek to provide a Biblical perspective on fairness, exploring how God offers salvation to everyone impartially and how His justice is ultimately intertwined with His grace.
This extends into the Old Testament, tackling challenging passages in Deuteronomy and 1 Samuel where God commands the Israelites to annihilate certain groups. The study explains these directives as divine judgments against wicked cultures, emphasizing God's long-suffering nature and His desire for repentance. The episode also contrasts the lives of Judas Iscariot and the thief on the cross, illustrating the surprising ways God's grace can manifest.
Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to reflect on their understanding of fairness and justice, encouraging them to see the broader picture of God's plan for salvation. Join us as we explore these complex themes and seek to understand the balance of justice and mercy in God's character.
