¬ÝBetter Just than Fair¬Ý
It’Äôs not fair, how could God let this happen?¬Ý So what’Äôs your ’Äòthis’Äô, a lost job, broken marriage, rebellious children, or an abusive situation?
God created perfection, that’Äôs what He called it; a world with perfect plants, animals and environment, a perfect universe with stellar bodies and a perfect man without blemish.¬Ý Satan wanted it all.¬Ý He wanted to rule over heaven and all it contained.¬Ý When God threw him out of heaven he set his sights on creation.¬Ý Satan’Äôs passion isn’Äôt perfection, but corruption.¬Ý¬Ý It’Äôs deceit and mayhem.¬Ý Ultimately he wants to rule over and destroy all God has created.
God could’Äôve thrown up His hands and said to man, if you would rather live this way instead of enjoy My perfection, then so be it, destroyed us and started over.
If God’Äôs so unfair why did He not abandon us?¬Ý Why did He give up His only son for our redemption?¬Ý Why does He continue to pursue us; because He’Äôs not unfair, He’Äôs loving and persistent.¬Ý
We can’Äôt control what we’Äôre born to.¬Ý We can’Äôt control the events or situations we become part of when we’Äôre born, but there does come a day when we don’Äôt have to be a product or an outcome of said family or situation.¬Ý Adam brought sin upon the race of mankind so rather than destroy us God made a way for us to be free from the bondage of sin.¬Ý
We confuse fairness with justice.¬Ý Because God is just He doesn’Äôt give us what we fairly deserve.¬Ý He the next time you ask, ’ÄúWhy is God so unfair,’Äù remember the cross.¬Ý If God were fair He would have let us perish.
God will never walk away from his people, never desert his precious people. Psalm 94:14
