Approaching a Just God (BC Art. 1; Rom 3:24,25)

We believe that God is completely just. It's scary because God can see into our hearts and know our hidden wants. If we're even a tiny bit wrong, God is bound to punish us. That is why we rely on Christ and the Spirit to give us faith. If we're not connected to Christ, his work will not benefit us.

The Peace of God’s Justice (Malachi 3:13-4:3)

At this point in our Malachi we might wonder if there are any faithful people. Has the Lord forgotten His people? Has the Lord failed to keep a remnant for himself? The Lord gives the assurance that the upside is that the Lord remembers His promise. So, what is the peace of knowing that God remembers His justice?

Elihu's Conclusion (Job 36-37)

Elihu is going to conclude his speech which concludes the counselors speaking.  The counselors have told Job to repent of the sin that Job has committed, but Job has not committed a sin to deserve this punishment.  However, Job has attached the integrity and purity of the Lord claiming that something has gone wrong in how the Lord has treated Job.  Elihu has encouraged Job to drop his case.  Will this man drop his case?  Will Job see the goodness of the Lord?

God is Just! (Job 34:1-37)

Elihu waits for Job to answer, but Job gives no answer so Elihu continues to address his friend and the counselors.  Elihu defends the justice of God and desires all to know that our God is definitely just.  Has Job denied that God is just or is Elihu merely putting words in this suffering saint’s mouth?    Do we really need to care so much about God’s justice?
