God Is a Good Judge 

Too often we allow the lenses of our culture to influence how we see God, measuring Him by our own societal standards, and thereby judging His actions according to our own understanding. Here Andrew Selley reminds us that we must embrace God for who He is, fully aligning ourselves to what the Bible says about Him. We are encouraged to consider both the kindness and the sternness of God, according to Romans 11:22. He unpacks the severity of God’s judgement of sin, by explaining the severe impact sin has on us and on creation. We must accept this sternness, for us to recognise the radical kindness of God in sending Jesus to die for our sin. Jesus is the only one who could atone for this sin, therefore the Gospel is the ‘good news’. It is only in understanding how bad the alternative is, that we can fully grasp how great the good is.
