Obey The Supreme Court!

There is a Supreme Court which establishes the laws of the universe. Long ago, this Supreme Court informed Abraham that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were to be destroyed because of their wickedness. Abraham was deeply troubled because his nephew, Lot, and his family, lived in Sodom. In his ensuing conversation with God, Abraham referred to God as, “the judge of all the earth” (Genesis 18:25).

Abraham had wanted this judge, to spare Sodom but, instead, God sent angels to remove the few righteous members of Lot’s family from Sodom before its destruction. Even as the angels were in Lot’s house preparing Lot and his family for their escape, the men of Sodom further demonstrated their wickedness by attempting to sodomize the angels. Though the angels struck those men with blindness so they couldn’t find their way into the house, they grew weary trying! In the end, with angelic assistance, Lot and his family escaped from Sodom. Then God brought His decreed judgment upon that city. Read about this in Genesis 18:17-19:25.

God’s Supreme Court outranks all other Supreme Courts that men have established. God declares that the judgments of His court shall prevail. When other courts ignore God’s judgments, those other courts are wrong. In God’s own time, and without the help of man, God will destroy them, if they remain unrepentant.

God has much to say about the destiny of those who reject His righteous rule.

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).

How did these people who were washed, sanctified, and justified, come to be so? God the Son took on flesh, through the virgin birth, and offered Himself as a blood sacrifice for the redemption of His people. He touches their hearts and gives them life, causing them to call out to Him for forgiveness (John 6:37-40).

Those whom Christ has saved, honor His Supreme Court. Will you?
