Summary
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.

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
00:00:44.500
but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
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
00:01:31.400
We see that when justice is carried out swiftly and firmly,
00:01:43.880
One of the reasons why crime increases in society, in a culture, in a nation,
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
