The Judge of the Law

 

"God is a just judge and is angry with the
wicked all every day."
Psalm 7:11

 

"An unjust man is an abomination
to the just ..."

Proverbs 29:27

 

"He that turneth away his ear from
hearing the law, even his prayer
shall be abomination."

Proverbs 28:9

 

"Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil,
and canst not look on iniquity"

Habakkuk 1:13

 

"It is appointed unto men once to die,
but after this the judgment."

Hebrews 9:27

 

"for because of these things
cometh the wrath of God upon the
children of disobedience."

Ephesians 5:6b

 

"The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath
of God, which is poured out without mixture into
the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the
Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth
up for ever and ever: and they have
no rest day nor night..."

Revelation 14:10-11a

If God is a just judge, and
if all men will face judgment, and
if we are guilty of breaking His laws, and
if the penalty of breaking these laws is death,
then what is our outcome?

In this world, if a convicted murderer stands before a just judge, will he be allowed to go free if he says, "I am sorry", "I'll never do it again", "I repent", etc.? NO!

He is guilty and he will pay the requirement of the law. In the same way, we are guilty and must pay the requirement of God's law. This being so, what is the penalty for breaking God's law?
