JUSTICE MUST COME

Habakkuk  1:13 says, “Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil.” It is the very nature of God to hate evil. And God always acts in accord with His character. So the existence of evil requires punishment. God would not be God if He did not punish evil.

“God’s great mercy and fierce wrath are both solid realities that stretch like railroad tracks to a point beyond our comprehension."  Dick Brogden

Mercy does not stand alone as the attribute of God! Though God’s mercy endures forever and triumphs over justice.There is a day when mercy has run it's course and though it may continue to stand as a testimony to the great grace of God, that day is the conclusion of mercy! The continued rejection of truth is the continued rejection of mercy and ends in a just death sentence- Ahab is dead.
Justice must come!
