The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - A Safeguard Against Crime

Justice is not social justice, it is biblical justice. God's justice is swift, fair, and firm. He does justice to use that as a deterrent toward sin, even for sinners. The mind of the sinful man is not indifferent, not neutral, but hostile against god and his law. And even for that individual, the unbeliever is hostile towards the law of God. When justice is swiftly carried out in God's common grace, society is better and safer. And when there is swift and fair justice is carried out, the people stand in fear of God, a good, righteous, holy fear.

00:00:00.000 All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

00:00:04.620 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and

00:00:09.500 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.

00:00:16.220 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and

00:00:22.520 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments

00:00:28.060 leaving us a five-star review.

00:00:31.180 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,

00:00:33.980 you can share our podcast with a friend.

00:00:36.400 We hope you'll take the time to do so.

00:00:38.300 Thank you so much.

00:00:39.580 God bless.

00:00:41.720 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,

00:00:44.500 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

00:00:47.520 You're listening to Daily Truth.

00:00:51.900 We see this with the people of Israel.

00:00:54.540 Under the Mosaic law,

00:00:55.760 we're gonna read from Deuteronomy chapter 19

00:00:57.580 here in just a moment we're going to see in the mosaic law where paul is getting this two or three

00:01:02.420 witness language from okay because that's all he's doing he's simply expositing the law of moses

00:01:08.100 saying that even for new testament christians the principle is still relevant because this is a part

00:01:14.620 of god's eternal law it has not passed away jesus fulfilled it jesus did not abolish it new testament

00:01:20.920 christians just like the people of israel under the old covenant must still care about what's true

00:01:26.740 We must care about justice.

00:01:29.020 And what we see in the law of Moses is this.

00:01:31.400 We see that when justice is carried out swiftly and firmly,

00:01:37.720 the people stand in fear.

00:01:40.820 A good, righteous, holy fear.

00:01:43.880 One of the reasons why crime increases in society, in a culture, in a nation,

00:01:49.700 is when justice is not carried out.

00:01:52.380 right so if we I'm just going to give you just a real quick example because it's true and the

00:01:58.720 Bible supports it we see this in the Noahic covenant right that if anyone takes someone

00:02:05.500 else's life their life will be required of them so the death penalty is a biblical principle

00:02:12.060 when the death penalty is removed for murderers murder increases or if the death penalty stays

00:02:19.040 intact, but there's so many loopholes that people are using in the legal system to where

00:02:24.980 somebody, you know, by the time they finally actually get tried and convicted and all these

00:02:30.080 things, and they can actually, the sentence can actually be carried out for someone who's

00:02:33.900 committed murder. See, this person stole that person's life, therefore their life is going to

00:02:38.300 be stolen from them, right? You took a life, your life is taken, right? The punishment fits the

00:02:44.060 crying, but by the time it can finally get carried out in many legal systems in our nation

00:02:49.400 today, the person, literally 50 years have passed. The person dies of old age, happy,

00:02:56.760 well fed on death row. Murder rates go up. But when swift, fair, firm justice is carried

00:03:07.840 out, the people stand in fear. God, and that is the grace of God, guys. You can't see the

00:03:13.140 justice of God and the grace of God as, as something at odds with one another. It is the

00:03:17.820 grace of God and God's common grace. He does justice to use that as a deterrent, even for

00:03:25.100 sinners, not just gospel believing people with new regenerate hearts, but even those who are 0.91

00:03:30.140 unbelievers with hearts of stone, like Ezekiel 36, even the unregenerate non-believer who in

00:03:36.660 their heart of hearts, Romans chapter eight, they are hostile. The mind of the sinful man is not

00:03:41.100 indifferent not neutral but hostile against god and his law he does not submit to god's law nor

00:03:47.460 can he it's not just something he's unwilling to do he is unable to do it and even for that

00:03:52.500 individual the unbeliever hostile towards the law of god when justice is swiftly carried out

00:03:58.020 in god's common grace it is used as a deterrent toward sin crime goes down society is better 0.68

00:04:04.880 and safer justice is a good thing not social justice biblical justice thanks so much for
