When you look at the world around us, it’s easy to think that life isn’t fair. Some suffer though they seem to have no reason or explanation for it. Others have to deal with the consequences of the actions or decisions of others. Still others do not receive the justice they deserve. We all have an incredibly strong sense of fairness. That is why it can be so perplexing when we see how God dispenses blessing and grace. We see people who mock God who are more prosperous than believers. We see people who convert on their deathbed.
If we think God isn’t being fair, we need to remember the Lord does not give us what we deserve. If he did, we would be separated from him for all eternity. Instead, he does the most unfair thing possible. He forgives us of our sins. He treats us as if we have never sinned. He loves us so much that he punishes Jesus for our sins. Yes, it’s true. God isn’t fair, but that is because our God is breathtakingly generous.
