Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the LORD detests them both. Proverbs 17.15

The person that abandons the good Way is the guilty and even if he feels the divine touch, he doesn’t turn back. He becomes an outcast, insolent and his prayer is not listened anymore. There is nothing wrong with him in his point of view. Therefore, he says he doesn’t understand why the Father doesn’t answer him. He condemns those who freely give their lives to the Lord. He labels them as foolish people.

But the innocent fulfils his duties as a son of God, always practicing the divine justice and never letting the Scriptures apart. The doors of heaven are always open for him and his lifestyle shows that he really serves the Lord. He doesn’t take part with the mockers, but with those who really serve the Lord (Psalm 1). The person that puts the Word of God in practice is always well received and respected. 

There are many people that act like foolish. They enter in a fight even if they don’t know the reasons of it. They could justify their madness if they had this position to end the conflict. But they enter in it to fight, like if they were superiors or unachievable by any weapon. The book of Proverbs declares that they are like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears. Probably they will be bitten (Prov 26.17).

The most stupid act is to justify the guilty. The person that does it goes against the Lord’s declaration. It is as if he decides to defy and to face the Almighty. He knows he is in a bad situation. His posture puts him under the evil’s power. Therefore, suffering will follow him for eternity. Isn’t it absurd to have the courage to justify mistakes?

More than that is the nonsense to condemn the innocent. Well, the Lord is the one who justifies. Who dares to condemn the person who was justified by the Truth? What is he waiting for? No doubt, the complete repulse from the Creator. It is interesting that those who act with madness are not related with the guilty or the innocent. They interfere in the matter because they are stupid. 

The guilty and the one who justifies him are abomination to the Lord. Both could be loving children but they became detestable to the eyes of the holy and powerful God because of a foolish act. They will have no other future than to be thrown in the lake of burning sulfur. They will be tormented forever and ever (Rev 21.8). So, why take this decision if God is a friend and a father? Why not repent and change to the winner´s side?

The advantage of being just is complete. First, he will not see death (Rev 20.6). Second, he will dwell with Jesus forever (Rev 21.3). The righteous will know the Lord and will be known by Him (Jo 10.14). Besides that, they will not only be free of the enemy’s attacks. They will enjoy many wonderful things, things that were prepared by the loving Father (1 Co 2.9).

In Christ, with love
