The Gospel According
to Matthew 4:4
The
Book of Psalms 7:11
God judgeth the
righteous, and him that contemneth God, every day.
Brethren:
It is indeed true
that God is love, but He is first and foremost a God of
righteousness. As such, He will be certain to do what is righteous,
for He simply cannot do any less. It is this righteousness that
causes to give time for men to repent, and to come to Him in humble
adoration. Yet this period of time will not last forever. Be
forewarned friends, that there will come the day of judgment, (Read
Mark 6:11; Romans 2:5; 2 Peter 2:9, 3:7) and our Creator will place
upon Himself His mantle of righteousness, and judge the nations. Let
those that deny His Deity, be prepared, repent friends. - Dr. Riktor
Von Zhades - Disciple of Christ
“God judgeth the
righteous; he owns every righteous cause, and will maintain it in
every righteous man, and will protect him. God is a righteous Judge
(so some read it), who not only doeth righteousness himself, but will
take care that righteousness be done by the children of men and will
avenge and punish all unrighteousness.
He [the psalmist],
is no less confident of the destruction of all his persecutors, even
as many of them as would not repent, to give glory to God. He reads
their doom here, for their good, if possible, that they might cease
from their enmity, or, however, for his own comfort, that he might
not be afraid of them nor aggrieved at their prosperity and success
for a time. He goes into the sanctuary of God, and there understands;
That they are children of wrath. They are not to be envied, for God
is angry with them, is angry with the wicked every day. They are
every day doing that which is provoking to him, and he resents it,
and treasures it up against the day of wrath. As his mercies are new
every morning towards his people, so his anger is new every morning
against the wicked, upon the fresh occasions given for it by their
renewed transgressions. God is angry with the wicked even in the
merriest and most prosperous of their days, even in the days of their
devotion; for, if they be suffered to prosper, it is in wrath; if
they pray, their very prayers are an abomination. The wrath of God
abides upon them (Read John 3:36) and continual additions are made to
it. That they are children of death, as all the children of wrath
are, sons of perdition, marked out for ruin. See their destruction.”
- Matthew Henry - 17th Century Theologian
