Oh the consequences we face if we stand for the righteousness of God. Yet if we truly bear the name christian we do not back down when evil is before us knowing God stands with us no matter what others may think. We live in a world where evil is viewed as good and vice versa and God is more than aware of this. So much so He says “Woe” to those who agree with it! (Isaiah 5:20-23) Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

Sadly the judicial system is broken as those who seek justice stand many times before a judge who will rule against the righteousness of God. Judges will have respect of persons in a matter and therefore an unrighteous ruling will prevail, and scripture teaches us those who judge and have respect of persons do not fear God as they should nor do they realize it is a sin to do so ( James 2:1-9) My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. (2 Chronicles 19:5-7).

There are many rewards spoken of in scripture and depending on if we do righteousness or wickedness all choices will be rewarded. The more we choose Gods will, we soon learn it is never wrong to do what is right in His eyes (Isaiah 3:10-11) Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. (Proverbs 12:14).

No matter how popular it is to the world to follow wrong, those who do know the will of God know we are to love and protect those who have no voice in this life ( 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. ( Nahum 1:7).
