And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no judgment. And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore His arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him. For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon His head; and He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, fury to His adversaries, recompence to His enemies; to the islands He will repay recompence. So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 59:14-20
Judgment is not what a lot of people think it is. If you go to court charged with a crime nobody really wants judgment. They need mercy. Judgment is receiving what one deserves.
Truth is a precious item. It is very much needed in every age, every millennium, every century, decade, year and every day. Truth is truth. It is not whatever you think it is. I do not have my truth, and you do not have your own truth. Truth is what God says is truth. Jesus Christ Himself said, “I am … the Truth…” (John 14:6) The truth is much needed in the twenty first century. With shouts of death, and damnation to one another we need help, and our only help is Jesus Christ
Jesus gives us a new heart and mind. We have His heart and mind. When we give ourselves to Him, spending time with Him in His word, and in prayer we grow to be more like Him. Some of us just got started. Some of us are headed in the right direction. We will never be complete until Jesus comes to take us Home to be with Him forever.
Do you know the Christ of Heaven? His name is Jesus. He gave his life for you and me dying on that old cross. He was buried. He rose again. Turning from your sin, call on His name and be saved today.
When truth fails the LORD puts on Righteousness as righteousness. He sent His Son Jesus to make us righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21).
