From the Attributes book by Tozer: "Justice is not something God has. Justice is something God is."
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. --Revelation 15:3-4
The last time we met, we started going through Chapter 4, God's Justice.
Assignment and prep for our study together:
- Read Chapter 4, God's Justice, Pages 59-74.
- Read the Study Guide for Chapter 4, Pages 35-41.
Plan for our study time together:
- We'll start with a continue short summary of the opening section that was covered last time, pages 59-64.
- We'll discuss the Group Study Guide questions 1-4 on Pages 40-41 for the introduction to the chapter
- We'll continue in the chapter with the section on The Unity of God, Page 64.
End note and thought:
I suspect you guys, my brothers in Christ, are like me in that you long for the time when we will fully experience what it is like to be wholly holy and righteous! To have a justice about us that is unshakable! And integrity that is above reproach. Biblically, we are righteous NOW, based on our believe and acceptance of the finished work of Christ. But one day, when we've finished this race, we'll be righteous without the continuous battle with the carnal nature!
That day is approaching, men. Keep looking up and keep running the race.
Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave like men, be strong! --1 Corinthians 16:13-14
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. --Hebrews 12:1-2
Hope to see you on Saturday!
