- Executes righteousness
Psalm 103:6
The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
All of us are oppressed by spiritual enemies: Sin, Death, Devil unjustly accuse, tempt, seduce, threaten us on a regular basis. We ask, “How Long, O Lord?” We complain often about unjust treatment from many sources. We will be spiritually oppressed in an unjust manner until the end of time and it will not let up; but, take heart, for the promise here is that the Lord executes righteousness and judgment in favor of the oppressed and against the oppressors. Just wait, be patient, and trust the Lord for everything will be set to rights in time. No injustice or oppression will go unnoticed or unpunished. God is keeping a record and He will make sure it comes out even in the end on Justice Day. Rewards and punishments will be just and total.
Judgment means everyone getting what he or she deserves justly and rightly. Christ has earned the rewards of grace, given grace to believers, and so they deserve the gracious rewards. The judgment will show it. Each sinner has earned the punishments of sin, and unbelievers deserve the just punishments. The Final Judgment will show this eternally and clearly, and no one in heaven or earth or under the earth will ever again complain about injustice (“it’s not fair”) or argue with God. God’s Final White Throne Judgment executes righteous judgment and there is no appeal.
We will say, “We have been redeemed,” and no one will challenge that verdict. God is merciful and just and it all comes together in Jesus Christ.
