God's Courtroom

Isaiah 55:7  “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.”

Showing remorse over one’s breaking man-made laws goes a long way when standing before a judge and the jury; a cocky and unrepentant attitude worsens matters. The same is true of those who disobey God’s commands, except they stand before Holy God, who ALWAYS rules with justice.

To “return to the Lord” implies that man once walked with God sinlessly. But sin entered God’s perfect world. God is ready to forgive sinners who admit and turn away from their evil doings, disreputable companions, and wrong paths and return to Him. He shows mercy and abundant pardon—forgiveness is plentiful to those who forsake their heart’s ungodly intentions, pride, selfishness, and plans that oppose what He wants.

Our courtrooms today have judges who rule rightly and some unfairly; people claim there is no God, but that doesn’t negate that He exists. Everyone is accountable to God, the Just and Righteous Judge, and will give Him an account of our lives.
