Classic Sermon 6011: Covered by His Righteousness

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: Psalm 103 declares all the positive works of God in our lives, including the renewal of the believer. The psalmist David emphasizes that Jehovah does justice and right to all those who suffer violence. Although there is injustice in the world, ultimately and ultimately, the justice of God makes itself felt and is established in a definitive way over all injustice in the world. This should fill us with joy and hope, knowing that the universe is ruled by a God-like and God-fearing person, and ultimately the God-seeking person will be blessed. As the children of God, we move under a cover of justice that covers and directs us at all times. This should govern our lives 24 hours a day and affect our behavior, thoughts, and attitudes.

Believers should have a peaceful, joyful, and optimistic attitude knowing that God governs their lives. They should not be bitter or cynical but instead, trust in God's perfect love which casts out fear. Believers should not envy or imitate those who prosper through unfair conduct and should not become bitter when contemplating the injustices of the world. When injustice affects their lives, believers should adopt a long-term perspective and trust that God's justice will prevail. They should defend themselves but not become compulsive or neurotic in fighting against evil.

When we suffer injustice, we must defend ourselves, but also entrust our cause to the Lord. We should not seek revenge, but leave room for the Lord's revenge. We must not harbor resentment in our hearts, as it poisons our thoughts and feelings. Instead, we should forgive and be agents of justice wherever we go. Our behavior should be fair at all times. The principles of the Gospel undermine the foundations of slavery for centuries, as the Bible speaks of justice and treating servants as equals before God.

The Gospel may not have directly attacked slavery, but its principles of justice and equality undermined the foundations of slavery for centuries. Christians must have a hunger and thirst for justice and help those in need, as taught in Psalm 82. It is important to teach children to be fair and advocate for those suffering injustice. We must establish God as the agent of justice and be faithful imitators of Him.

Let's go to Psalm 103, brothers, verse 6. You will remember that we are analyzing and studying this Psalm 103 that I clearly feel that the Lord has given us for our enrichment, for our edification. Today I hope to conclude the study of this Psalm 103 with verse 6. And we are going to start with verse 1 and go up to verse 6.

Says the word of the Lord: 'Bless my soul to Jehovah and bless all my being his holy name. Bless Jehovah my soul and do not forget any of his benefits. He is the one who forgives all your inequities, the one who heals all your ailments, the one who rescues your life from the hole, the one who crowns you with favors and mercies. The one who satisfies your mouth with good, so that you rejuvenate like the eagle. Jehovah is the one who does justice and to all those who suffer violence.
