Proverbs 21.15 says, it is joy to the just to do judgment, but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. Like many of our Proverbs, this provides us with a dichotomy. You can either live with the joy of being among those justified in God's eyes who lived lives of good judgment and fair treatment of others, or you can be among the miserable who do not live lives of good judgment, but spend their time and energy in iniquity only to suffer the consequences in this life and to spend eternity in an everlasting lake of fire. That really is what it comes down to. The just do justly and have joy as a result. The unjust do unjustly and are eventually destroyed. And of course, that's the point of Galatians 6-7. Be not deceived. God is not mocked. For whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap. Sow justly and reap joy. Sow unjustly and reap destruction. And if you want others to treat you justly, you had better make it your policy to treat others justly. In the words of Jesus, as we read in Luke 6 31, and as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. But we have to keep a balanced view of these things. The political and religious left in America talk about things like love and peace and justice, but their version is a perversion. They call the wickedness of Sodom love. They promote government-controlled education, one-party political rule, DEI anti-white and anti-Christian policies as peace. And they enact Marxist tyranny and call it justice. Then they accuse those of us standing up for true love, true peace, and true justice of being hateful, violent. They accuse us of injustice. And they even have a Bible verse that they wrest from its context and use as a theme verse for their perversion in Micah 6.8. He hath showed thee, O man, what is good, and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God. When good is defined by God's word and we do justly and love mercy and walk humbly with God in accordance to his holy word, that verse is a wonderful word of guidance and wisdom. But when you're a leftist, you treat the Bible the way Lucifer does. And Marxists pretend that abortion isn't murder, and they pretend that sodomy is love, and they pretend that leftist tyranny is justice. Then that verse has lost all of its intended meaning. If you do any amount of research on the websites of apostate denominations and churches, you'll notice that Micah 6.8 shows up more than any other single Bible verse from my experience, but it is useful to their cause when interpreted perversely and almost always, of course, from the corrupt Bible versions. But we shouldn't let that deter us from appreciating the true meaning of Micah 6. Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. That means you will stand for the protection of the unborn. You will call on sodomites to repent before their sin destroys them. What they call a lifestyle is a death style. It also destroys society. The greater it grows in our midst, and it will be a huge part of the destructive culture and society of the Great Tribulation under the Antichrist, the beast. You will walk humbly before God, seeking to be filled with His Spirit and the knowledge of His Word so you can sin less and serve Him in holiness. It is joy to the just to do judgment. Love the truth. Live to do right in God's sight. Surround yourself with believers in a local church and with friendships. and among loved ones who have the same desire to live for God's glory. And you'll find more joy than you can find living any other way. And it starts with faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ and can only continue as we grow in faith in accordance to His Word.
