15 So people will be brought low and everyone humbled, the eyes of the arrogant humbled. 16 But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by His justice, and the holy God will be proved holy by His righteous acts. ~ Isaiah 5:15-16
God said that people will be brought low, but God will be exalted by His Justice. Now what exactly does that mean?
I believe the problem of understanding that is that we get the God of the Old Testament confused with the God of the New Testament. We believe Him to be two entirely different Gods. Or at least two entirely different personalities. But that is an incorrect belief and gross misinterpretation of Scripture. God said that He is the LORD God Almighty and He does not change.
So, the God of the O.T. is the same God of the N.T. He did not change His personality nor His ways. His laws are the same, for the soul that sinneth, it shall die. But every soul that accepts the sacrifice of Jesus Christ will live.
We have life because of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Be blessed in the LORD.
Father, help me to always remember and put my faith in Your Son, Jesus of Nazareth. And it’s in His mighty Name that I pray, amen.
