“Christian” Why Do You Transgress God?

Posted in Justice at 12:27 am by TruthofmyKing

Prov 29:26

26 Many seek the ruler’s favor, But justice for man comes from the LORD.

NASB

Recently, I have witnessed an “injustice” between two persons who profess Christ.  One took the other to secular court in a long drawn out battle, causing a great deal of strife, for no other reason then to gain a financial profit of money.

Yes, it was for nothing more than what the Scripture refers to as “filthy lucre” or “unrighteous mammon”. 

My heart truly does become broken over such matters as these.   On the surface it seems as though God’s children do not listen to Him, as this person who has professed Christ has denied God’s guidance by taking another who professes Christ to secular court.  But this appearance of not listening to God is truly on the surface, any student of the Scripture will tell you that the children of God are obedient to His word and His will.

1 John 2:4

4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

NASB

So you, who profess Christ, why do you transgress God?  Why did you take another to court before the unbelievers?  Have you not read what your Father wants from you in such a matter as this?

Well allow me to direct you to God’s (your professed Father’s) Word:

1 Cor 6:1-8

1 Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, matters of this life? 4 If then you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church? 5 I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren, 6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers? 7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded? 8 On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud, and that your brethren.

NASB

How long are we going to call those who profess Christ, “Christians”, who blatantly disobey God time and time again, without any repentance or Godly remorse, or any righting of the wrongs committed against one another?

 Why do some have such a disregard for God’s Word, an unwillingness to obey Him?

“Now, mark this: by this shall you know whether you are a child of God, or not; by the respect that you have to your Father’s Word. If you have small respect for that Word, the evidences of a bastard are upon you.”

~Charles Spurgeon

The worse part of this is that it appears that the one who instigated the lawsuit against the other is not in repentance for having directly disobeyed God’s will, but actually is rejoicing in “victory” as the worldly judge rendered worldly justice (did you expect Godly Justice in such an ungodly place?).

Where is the victory in such a thing?  Is it in gaining unrighteous mammon, or your disobedience to God, perhaps your victory is in the strife that was caused among a multitude of people; both young and old, maybe you are rejoicing in the discontentment you had with your God given food and raiment; as you had plenty of both?

As a child of God, I do not expect justice in this life time. 

Isa 59:14-15

14 And justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter. 15 Yes, truth is lacking; And he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. Now the Lord saw, And it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.

NASB

Why would I expect a crown of roses when my Lord was given a crown of thorns?

Eccl 3:15-17

16 Furthermore, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness. 17 I said to myself, “God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man,” for a time for every matter and for every deed is there.

NASB

The beautiful thing about the righteousness of God is that He is just and He sees all things.  There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.  Do not let your heart be troubled, the intention of the heart of every man and woman involved in such a matter as this is laid open and bare before the eyes of the Lord. 

Luke 12:2-3

2 “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 3 “Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

NASB

 The Scripture is clear, there is only one Judge, and He sees all things, secret and public, your thoughts and words, actions and lack of actions.  ALL THINGS REGARDING THIS MATTER WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE A MUCH HIGHER COURT!

This will either terrify you or bring you to the point of rejoicing if you are pure of heart!

In this matter, if your prayer and intent of heart all along has truly been for “fairness” and “righteousness” then the day when the Lord comes in His glory this intent of yours will be revealed and you will be vindicated.  But if you have acted deceitfully, lusted or loved money, hated in your heart, wanting ill things to happen to one another, or caused strife for an impure reason, then the day of judgment will likewise reveal that. 

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, what a man sows, he will also reap, every man will be held accountable for his works, whether they are good or whether they are bad, and it will be known whether or not one has truly repented with Godly remorse or not, and you should be informed that you are not going to be the judge of yourself. 

For if we were the judge of our own souls, we would call good; bad, and bad; good.  We would justify our disobedience to God.  In fact, this kind of false justification of ourselves occurs daily, but it is useless as our judgment of ourselves means nothing if it does not concur with God’s assessment of us.  We may even “fool” many people on this earth that our cause was “just and holy” but you will not fool an Almighty God who has seen and heard every last thought, word, and action that you have ever had.  He has the ultimate discernment of righteousness and He knows when you are contrary to His word and therefore His will.

God will judge according to righteousness; His righteousness, and it will not be contrary to His written word, so IN ALL THINGS obey God in His word so it will be well with your soul.

So is there injustice in this world?

For the time being, it would appear so, but do not judge according to appearance.  For God is ruler of heaven and earth and He has set a day for Jesus to return with all His angels and true justice, not the justice of the world, but justice according to God will be rendered, and it will be the final word.  True believers weep and mourn for the day when they will be vindicated along side of their Lord.

Truly my prayer is that all parties are reconciled to God and to one another and none are found to be under the wrath of God at the time of Judgment.  God wills that none perish and I joyfully concur with His will.  I must also point out that God has been merciful to me, the chief sinner in the world, and if He can be merciful to me, then He can certainly be merciful to all.  My hope for everyone is that the Holy, Just, wrath of God will abide on no man or woman; but I DO HOPE for true repentance, Godly remorse, a turning away of from the things that God hates, and turning to the things that God loves; for these are the very evidences of salvation.

But I do not want you to be deceived nor take me lightly; an unrepentant heart for your smallest of transgressions has the wrath of God stored up in heaven for the day of judgment.

Rom 2:5-6

5 But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who will render to every man according to his deeds:

NASB

I know that my speech has been hard in this article, but I am growing tired of having a multitude of people professing my Lord as their Savior, all the while they are completely disrespectful to the Will of God for their life.  I know there are many false converts in the Church, and Jesus taught me that I “will know them by their fruits.”  Disobedience to God, causing strife for impure reasons, and loving money, are not good fruit!  However, there is still hope for one who is entangled in such sin, REPENT AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL AND YOU WILL BE SAVED!

For the Truth of my King
