God is Faithful, Holy, and Just!
Deuteronomy 32:1-4
“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak,
and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
May my teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and like showers upon the herb.
For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
ascribe greatness to our God!
“The Rock, his work is perfect,
for all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and without iniquity,
just and upright is he.
God of Faithfulness
Yet another day has the Almighty given to His people to corporately acknowledge, proclaim, and remember His faithfulness and His keeping of His promise! He has not said He might be a God to us, our children, those who are afar off, and as many as He shall call. Nay, Church, he has promised that He indeed will our God!
Without Iniquity
Our great God is holy, and He sits loftily above executing flawlessly His decree which He determined before the foundations of the earth. In His perfection He has no sin, no wrongdoing, no violation of His own law. And yet, in His mercy, even by way of His own decree, He did determine to condescend to men, take upon Himself a body of a man, that this might be true: For our sake he made him [Our Lord Christ] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. What a glorious, awe-inspiring truth!
Just and Upright
The Lord is always just. Some may object saying, “Wait, but he has forgiven our sins, so if He were just we would not be forgiven and absolved of our punishment in eternity.” I say again, the Lord is always just. God did not make a magic potion that just absolved the sins of His people. No, the Lord Himself descended, became a man, and by way of perfect obedience He paid the penalty on behalf of His people, that we might justly (not by our own merits but by the infinite worth and value of Christ’s pointed, particular, focused atonement) stand right before God. The legal demands of the Lord and His law were legally and fully met by Christ.
Thank the Lord for His redemptive plan!Let us come together and worship our Lord in unison, it having been sprinkled by His merit that it may be pleasing to the Lord. May we cast aside the sins which so easily entangle us, trusting in the provision of our Lord Who has indeed delivered us from such a plight!
Blessed be the Name of the Lord!
