Peace to you, child of God. Let us learn together about the justice of God.
It is a fundamental truth that Almighty God, Creator of all things, is a God of justice (Deuteronomy 32:4 “He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.”). There is no question about His righteousness. However, it is important to understand how His justice operates among His creation, especially humanity.
Satan and his fallen angels work to accuse and drag people away from God, while holy angels seek to protect and draw people closer to God (Job 1:6-12; Zechariah 3:1-2). Both sides focus on humanity, but with opposite goals.
God does not battle Satan personally.
God is sovereign and supreme above all creation (Isaiah 40:12-14). No created being can challenge Him or defeat Him. The spiritual battle is fought by the chief angel Michael and his holy angels, as Revelation 12:7-9 explains:
“Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”
God’s Role: Judge and Just Arbiter
God acts as the righteous judge (Psalm 7:11“God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.”), giving justice to those who deserve it. He neither shows favoritism nor injustice (Romans 2:11).
The Role of Angels
(Zechariah 3:1-2; Matthew 18:10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.”).
(Revelation 12:10 “He who accuses them before our God day and night.”).
When Satan Accuses
If a person lives knowingly in sin (e.g., adultery, witchcraft), Satan brings a strong accusation to God, claiming legal rights over that person (John 8:44“He is a liar and the father of lies.”). Without repentance and faith, this accusation may be allowed.
God’s Justice is Impartial
God judges each person according to their deeds (Romans 2:6-8). No one is exempt, and justice is perfect and impartial.
Protection Under Jesus’ Blood
Believers who are washed by Jesus’ blood (1 John 1:7) and live a holy life have their sins covered and stand defended by angels, who bring good reports before God. This keeps Satan’s accusations from succeeding (Romans 8:33-34“Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.”).
Spiritual Vigilance Required
We must examine our lives continually, because Satan prowls like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8).
Being “Under the Blood” Is More Than Words
Confessing “I am under the blood of Jesus” must be demonstrated by living a life consistent with that truth (James 2:17). Obedience and godly living activate the protection of Jesus’ blood.
Closing Doors to Satan
Satan only has access to us where doors are opened through sin or disobedience (Ephesians 4:27). These “doors” may include:
Opening such doors gives Satan legal grounds to accuse and afflict us (Luke 11:24-26).
Steps to Secure Salvation and Protection:
1. Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (John 3:16).
2. Be baptized by full immersion in water, in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38).
3. Receive the Holy Spirit, God’s promised helper and seal (Ephesians 1:13-14).
When these steps are completed sincerely, Satan’s accusations fail because believers are covered and justified (Romans 8:1 “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”).
Urgency of Salvation
We live in the last days (2 Timothy 3:1), and the time to prepare is now before Christ’s return (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Will you be ready to meet Him?
May God bless you richly as you seek His justice and protection.
