Because GOD IS JUST, I know He will always treat me fairly!
It's easy for our children to have a warped view of God's Justice. They see judgmental Christians and mistake it for the justice of God. They see "tolerance" worshipped on every street corner and confuse "loving their neighbor" with accepting and embracing their neighbor's sin.
God has no tolerance for judgmental Christians. He knows the damage they can do.
God has no tolerance for sin... neither do we...if it's a sin we don't like. Josh McDowell produced a t-shirt that illustrates this well. It says:
Intolerance is a Beautiful Thing...
Mother Theresa was intolerant of Poverty
Bono was intolerant of Aids
Nelson Mandela was intolerant of Apartheid
Martin Luther Kin was intolerant of Racism
Jesus was intolerant of Bigotry
Understanding God's Justice will empower your children to stand up for what is right, fight for the weak and abused, and give hope to the hopeless.
Teaching your children that God is Just will pave the way for a humble heart...one that truly loves the sinner but hates the sin.
