Biblical JUSTICE!

The greatest problem of jurisprudence is to allow freedom while enforcing order.
Now the real problem is we are warehousing people instead of doing corrections.
Prisons were intended to be a "house of Correction"--to set in place a process of
correcting, intended to rehabilitate & improve offenders. To restore someone to a
useful place in society. We are a long way from restoring hurting people back to
their useful place. Jeremiah 2:30 "..they receive no correction". Why? because there's no transformation of the Holy Spirit in their heart's!
It is God who shuts & opens doors, even prison doors. Job 11:10 "if He passes by,
imprisons & gathers to judgment, then who can hinder Him?
Job 12:14 "If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt, if He imprisons a man,
there can be no release"!
The Bible speaks of Justice 135 times. But Job 11:6 says " know therefore that
God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves!" and Psalm 103:10 says
"He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our
iniquities".
Further study reveals the Bible speaks of prison 125 times; prisoner 40 times;
pardon 18 times; correction 18 times; case 36 times; acquitted 4 times,
God is Justice! But He is also Mercy, Grace & Forgiveness!
He restores; reconciles; repairs; redeems;rescues; ransoms;& revives
Jesus Christ is our Judge; our Advocate; & our Defense.
We have all broken God's laws, our sins separated us from Him. God is Holy He must judge sin, as our Judge He pronounced our death sentence, then as our
Defense, He sacrificed Himself on the cross in our place, taking our punishment,
& purchasing our pardon. He freely did this out of His great love for us. No one else ever died for us, was buried, then rose again from the dead, proving He has the Power & Authority to deliver us & justify us, reconciling us back to Him. How do we
receive this free pardon that He has provided? We confess our sins, turn from them, asking Him into our lives as Savior & Lord, asking for HIs forgiveness,
asking the Holy Spirit to draw us to Him through conviction, so we can turn from sin to Him. Then obeying Him, & living for Him & walking with Him each day as He leads
There is No other Savior but JESUS CHRIST. He is Justice! Throw yourself on His Mercy & allow Him to bring correction into your life.
