Attributes of God: Day 30

Day 30

GOD JUDGES

Psalm 75:8, but God is the Judge: He brings one down and exalts another.

It is easy to give a picture of God as full of mercy, grace, and steadfast love, but when speaking about judgment, Christians often forget one of God’s attributes, namely that He judges. Paul declared that all the suffering he experienced is not comparable to the crown that will be given, because God will judge justly; whatever was done while still living is what will be rewarded at the end of the age (2 Timothy 4:8). For those who live in view of judgment, this verse is very real. That we will be judged by God for our every deed, whether good or not (Pengkotbah 12:13-14)
