Is God Concerned for Justice?

From The Good News We Almost Forgot by Kevin DeYoung:

We often struggle to embrace God's right to execute justice, 

• but when the referee blows a call against our team, we'll stand up and yell at the television.  
• When our insurance company refuses to pay what the policy says they should, we'll get downright indignant.  

We all have a sense of justice.  

• But somehow we don't think God can be concerned for justice when He is wronged.

Q. Will God allow such disobedience and apostasy to go unpunished?

A. Certainly not. 

• He is terribly displeased with our original sin as well as our actual sins. 
• Therefore He will punish them by a just judgment both now and eternally, as He has declared: 
• Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them (Galatians 3:10).

For the Bible Tells Me So...

• Deuteronomy 7:9-11 — Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him. Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today. 
• Exodus 20:5b — I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. 
• Hebrews 10:30,31 — For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Our universe would make no sense and the pain of injustice would be even greater if we did not have a God who recognizes right from wrong and judges the wicked.
