The judgments of the Lord are unavoidable

God is a God of love, He has shown His eternal love for us loving us in such a way that He has given His Son in atonement for our sins, however, that God is a God of love does not mean that He does not spill His judgment about the nations. In the Bible we have many examples of how the judgments of God fell on those nations that did not keep His Word and today is no exception, since God is the same as yesterday, and has no shadow of variation.

This truth may seem difficult for many to accept, but it is part of the whole biblical message. The same God who extends His mercy is also the God who corrects, disciplines, and brings justice to a world that often prefers darkness rather than light. Recognizing both aspects of His character helps us understand His holiness and the seriousness of sin. When we meditate on this, we realize that His judgments are not expressions of cruelty, but manifestations of His righteousness and His desire to restore order where evil has caused ruin.

People do not like to hear this part of God, this attribute of judgment, even, many times we ourselves as Christians forget this and it should not be so, since the Bible speaks to us again and again about this, and we must make understand to people that God abhors sin and that His anger rises in the face of evil.

The prophets of the Old Testament repeatedly warned the people not to take lightly the holiness of God. Their messages contained hope, yes, but also strong reminders that sin has consequences. Today many only want to hear about blessings and prosperity, but spiritual maturity requires embracing the full revelation of who God is. Ignoring His justice leads to a distorted view of His love, because true love also corrects and disciplines when necessary. The Bible teaches us that God delays judgment because He is patient, but when people refuse to repent, His justice eventually manifests.

Amos said:

4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword to slay them.

“I will keep my eye on them
for harm and not for good.”

5 The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,
and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt;

6 he builds his lofty palace in the heavens
and sets its foundation on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.

Amos 9:4-6

Our God is governor not only of the heavens but also of the earth, and does as He wills. It is as a certain preacher said: “The earth is the stage of God, and in his stage He does as he pleases.”

These words remind us that nothing escapes His authority. Nations rise and fall, kingdoms are established and destroyed, but God remains sovereign over all creation. His judgments demonstrate that He sees everything: human rebellion, injustice, violence, and pride. And although His patience is great, He does not ignore wickedness forever. Understanding this should lead us to humility and reverence, recognizing that our lives are fully exposed before Him.

We must understand that God is omnipotent and powerful, and His thoughts go beyond our own.

Because of this, His judgments are not arbitrary. They have purpose, wisdom, and divine timing. What for us seems harsh, for God is the necessary step toward restoring righteousness. Throughout Scripture we see that every judgment of God carried a call to repentance, a warning for people to turn from their evil ways. Even today, when we see turmoil in the world, these events should awaken our conscience and remind us that God continues governing history.

The judgments of God are unaviodable, that is, no one can escape them. All those judgments that God has said through His Word must be fulfilled. Simply preach Christ and pray.

As believers, our responsibility is not to speculate about when those judgments will fall, but to live in holiness, proclaim the gospel, and intercede for those who still walk far from God. Knowing that His justice is certain should motivate us to preach with greater urgency and to remain firm in His Word. God’s judgments remind us that the world is temporary, but His kingdom is eternal. And while we wait for His perfect plan to unfold, we trust in His love, in His righteousness, and in His unfailing promises.
