“God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; He judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, And accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: Rid them out of the hand of the wicked.”
Psalm 82:1-4 KJV
Asaph’s psalm of God being the ultimate Judge. “All rise! For God now comes to judge as he convenes heaven’s courtroom. He judges every judge and rules in the midst of the gods, saying, “How long will you judges refuse to listen to the voice of true justice and continue to corrupt what is right by judging in favor of the wrong? Defend the defenseless, the fatherless and the forgotten, the disenfranchised and the destitute. Your duty is to deliver the poor and the powerless; liberate them from the grasp of the wicked.” There is only one life and after that the judgment. For us who know that all judgment came upon Jesus Christ on the Cross, we believe what He said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” Therefore, our part as the Body of Christ the Church, is that through the Gospel we defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. This is how we bring God’s will on earth as it is in heaven, and increase the Kingdom of God. Amen!
