God's Perspective on Justice and Salvation Amidst Human Failings

Slide Note

In the Bible verses shared, God's concern for justice, righteousness, and intercession for communities is highlighted. Despite human shortcomings, God seeks individuals to stand for what is right and offers salvation and healing when people humble themselves, turn from evil, and seek peace. Through these verses from Isaiah, Ezekiel, Chronicles, Jeremiah, and Psalms, a powerful message of God's character and call for collective goodness emerges.

Presentation Transcript

God sees and relates to us not only as individuals, but also as groups or communities of people.

Isaiah 59:14-16 14 Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. 15 So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice.

Isaiah 59:14-16 16 He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him.

Ezekiel 22:29-31 29 The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. 30 So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

Ezekiel 22:29-31 31 Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord GOD.

2 Chronicles 7:14 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Jeremiah 29:7 7 And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the LORD for it; for in its peace you will have peace.

Psalm 2:8 8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

Matthew 16:18-19 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Jeremiah 1:9,10 9 Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant."
