In standing for lustice, we have to make sacrifices, put self to deah, be obedient to the word of God, and walk humbling before Him remaining steadfast and immovable in the faith. All requirements it takes being empowered with the spirit which gives us the ability to stand.

As God begins His destruction of Babylon, He also begins the process of restoration of His people, establishing His Kingdom through them for they are His witnesses. We help establish the laws of God by speaking His word. The warning that goes out through the Gospel which is the good news are only heard by those that He's calling to salvation.

in this chapter we start with comfort from the Lord our creator, that He has redeemed us, and we're not to fear. He touches on the destruction of the Babylonians and probably the future Babylon system during our time. Along with al it's idols, His people had lost touch with Him and who He was -the only God.- Due to previous generations, their fathers and leaders had brought a curse on them for that departure. But there was still a promise of restoration for some -remnant-.

We being born and shapen in iniquity have inherited through our humanity -Adam-, these fears inherently present in our natures, which we must put to death, and overcome if we are to be truly redeemed. It is part of the purge, washing with the water of the word, ever-increasing faith, that has to occur in the regenerated believer. It is unbelief, faithlessness, and doubt that will cause our exclusion from the Kingdom.

Notice the comfort God Himself gives to His people saying -fear not.- This is assurance that we are His and that He has come to us, redeeming us, giving us reassurance in Him, His Word and in our salvation. In announcing He's the creator, we understand our orgin is in Him and we are redeemed back to Him. Fear does not come from Him, but from unbelief and a lack of faith in Him.

As we pray the model prayer asking God that His will be done, actually we are asking for His justice upon this earth according to His will -statues. precepts and judgment-. In doing so those of us who has received His mercy and grace that have been born again, Eho have been justified in Jesus death on the cross, has granted us new life in Him.

We have to study God's word to understand His justice, realizing the seriousness of holiness and the wickedness of sin, so against the very nature of all that God is. In Him placing us in right standing -justified-, with Him going on to walk in the light, as He is in the light, being in the world but kept from the sin in the world.

The hearing ear, and seeing eye is part of the gifts that Jesus gives the Church, but also is part of the judgment -justice-, or curse God's word gives those that are rebellious, rejectors of God's word. Those that are disobedient still hearing the word become dull of hearing and that little they do have will be taken and given to others.As was the Pharisees who thought they saw, Jesus said that their blindness or sin would remain.

Just as newborn babes coming into the world, we being Born again are beginning to see in a spiritual way -by faith-. We are no longer in control but Jesus is the author and finisher, so His Holy Spirit illumines the path that we travel. He's leading us in a way that we know not, but trust in Him. He causes us to walk in the light as He's in the light, which we once walked in darkness, groping around as others who had not been loosed from the bonds of darkness.

When we decide to follow Jesus becoming a servant of God it tetters us to Him as bondservants, we no longer belong to ourselves or have a will. We are no longer in bondage to Satan, sin, and the World but has become servants of righteousness. The old man is dead, buried with Christ, we are new creations walking in the newness of life, not walking in darkness as we once did.
