The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - A Safeguard Against Crime

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

00:04:13.660 listening but real quick before you go do us a small favor take a moment and leave us a five

00:04:19.260 star review if you enjoyed the show this is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us

00:04:24.720 get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible thanks so much
