Is God Judging Us Today?
Mike
Thank you for receiving my message. I have a question. Does God judge people living in the age of Grace while they are still on the earth? It seems that sometimes everything goes wrong. When this happens, are we to assume that God is bringing judgment upon us for something that we have done wrong? Or is it the devil that is messing things up? Thank you J___
Hi J____,
Thank you for your question.
God certainly is judging His church today as both Christ and Peter tell us:
Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
I have written a paper which answers this question in depth. It is entitled After The Counsel Of His Own Will. You can read it on iswasandwillbe. com
God really is sovereign. Satan is not “messing up things.” Satan does only what God has Him to do:
1Sa 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
Amo 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Dr. Billy Graham, in the National Cathedral, tells this nation that “God does not create evil.” But who are you going to believe, Dr. Graham or God’s own declaration:
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Hope this answers your question.
Mike
