God is righteous when He judges and when He forgives

A skeptic may ask:
1. "Is God unjust who inflicts wrath?" Rom 3:5

Certainly not! (vs 6) But why? This is because there is none righteous (vs 10), and the whole world is guilty before God (vs 19). For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (vs 23). So God is right to judge all unrighteousness!

2. "Is God unjust when He forgives sins?"

Certainly not! But why? This is because sinners are justified by the redemption of the blood of Christ (Rom 3:24-25). So God is just, and the justifier of sinners who exercise faith in Him (vs 26)

Praise God, for He is both just and righteous when He condemns sinners to hell and when He pardons sinners unto eternal life!

Coming of the Lord

The Lord will come even before all places are evangelised. Really?  1. The Lord said so (Mat 10:23) 2. The fullest of the Gentile (Rom 11:25) is the number of Gentiles to be saved which no one knows and it should be reaching its quota soon 3. God has given other witnesses like His creation (Rom 1:20) and man's conscience (Rom 2:15)
