“For we know Him who said, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,’ says the Lord. And again, ‘The LORD will judge His people.’ [Deut. 32:35-36] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:30-31)
We tend to focus more on God’s mercy than His justice, because it is far more pleasant. But God is both a God of mercy and a God of Justice! He operates with a perfect balance between mercy and justice.
Know that God will always bring righteous justice! We typically don’t know when or exactly how, but He will do it. This knowledge should motivate us to live humble, repentant lives of righteousness and holiness.
