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 All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04 because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09 admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16 Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22 effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28 leaving us a five-star review.
00:00:31 Also, perhaps even more effective than that,
00:00:33 you can share our podcast with a friend.
00:00:36 We hope you'll take the time to do so.
00:00:38 Thank you so much.
00:00:39 God bless.
00:00:41 Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone,
00:00:44 but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:47 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:51 We see this with the people of Israel.
00:00:54 Under the Mosaic law,
00:00:55 we're gonna read from Deuteronomy chapter 19
00:00:57 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 witness language from okay because that's all he's doing he's simply expositing the law of moses
00:01:08 saying that even for new testament christians the principle is still relevant because this is a part
00:01:14 of god's eternal law it has not passed away jesus fulfilled it jesus did not abolish it new testament
00:01:20 christians just like the people of israel under the old covenant must still care about what's true
00:01:26 We must care about justice.
00:01:29 And what we see in the law of Moses is this.
00:01:31 We see that when justice is carried out swiftly and firmly,
00:01:37 the people stand in fear.
00:01:40 A good, righteous, holy fear.
00:01:43 One of the reasons why crime increases in society, in a culture, in a nation,
00:01:49 is when justice is not carried out.
00:01:52 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 Bible supports it we see this in the Noahic covenant right that if anyone takes someone
00:02:05 else's life their life will be required of them so the death penalty is a biblical principle
00:02:12 when the death penalty is removed for murderers murder increases or if the death penalty stays
00:02:19 intact, but there's so many loopholes that people are using in the legal system to where
00:02:24 somebody, you know, by the time they finally actually get tried and convicted and all these
00:02:30 things, and they can actually, the sentence can actually be carried out for someone who's
00:02:33 committed murder. See, this person stole that person's life, therefore their life is going to
00:02:38 be stolen from them, right? You took a life, your life is taken, right? The punishment fits the
00:02:44 crying, but by the time it can finally get carried out in many legal systems in our nation
00:02:49 today, the person, literally 50 years have passed. The person dies of old age, happy,
00:02:56 well fed on death row. Murder rates go up. But when swift, fair, firm justice is carried
00:03:07 out, the people stand in fear. God, and that is the grace of God, guys. You can't see the
00:03:13 justice of God and the grace of God as, as something at odds with one another. It is the
00:03:17 grace of God and God's common grace. He does justice to use that as a deterrent, even for
00:03:25 sinners, not just gospel believing people with new regenerate hearts, but even those who are 0.91
00:03:30 unbelievers with hearts of stone, like Ezekiel 36, even the unregenerate non-believer who in
00:03:36 their heart of hearts, Romans chapter eight, they are hostile. The mind of the sinful man is not
00:03:41 indifferent not neutral but hostile against god and his law he does not submit to god's law nor
00:03:47 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 individual the unbeliever hostile towards the law of god when justice is swiftly carried out
00:03:58 in god's common grace it is used as a deterrent toward sin crime goes down society is better 0.68
00:04:04 and safer justice is a good thing not social justice biblical justice thanks so much for
00:04:13 listening but real quick before you go do us a small favor take a moment and leave us a five
00:04:19 star review if you enjoyed the show this is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us
00:04:24 get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible thanks so much
