Key Verse: Romans 15:4 (WEBUS)

⸻

Episode Highlights

• Biblical accounts of judgment reveal God’s holiness, justice, patience, mercy, and faithfulness.

• The flood, the Exodus, and Nineveh show that God judges sin while also providing rescue and calling people to repentance.

• God’s warnings are acts of mercy, giving sinners an opportunity to turn from evil and live.

• Divine patience must never be mistaken for approval, because God’s judgment eventually comes exactly as He has warned.

• The Passover points forward to Jesus Christ, our true Passover Lamb, whose blood delivers believers from judgment.

• God’s judgments should produce gratitude for salvation and urgency to proclaim the Gospel while there is still time to repent.

Awakened to Deliver — Living in the Revelation of His Name

Week 30 — God as Judge and Just One Day 1 – The Judge of All the Earth Will Do Right

Key Verse: Genesis 18:25 (WEBUS)

“May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”

⸻

Episode Highlights

• God’s judgment is always perfectly consistent with His holy, righteous, faithful, and loving character.

• The Judge of all the earth possesses complete knowledge and never overlooks a fact, motive, thought, or hidden action.

• Scripture never forces us to choose between God’s justice and His mercy; both are perfectly revealed throughout His Word.

• At the cross, God upheld His justice while extending mercy as Jesus bore the penalty sinners deserved.

⸻

Episode Highlights

• The presence of the Shepherd does not mean the absence of valleys, but it means His people never walk through them alone.

Because Jesus has conquered sin, death, and the powers of darkness, believers can walk through every valley with hope, knowing the Shepherd will lead them safely home.

“Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.”

• To say, “The Lord is my Shepherd,” is to surrender self-rule and trust His leadership.
