Scripture Commentaries
Crime is prevalent in our world, today because people do not feel for each other. As a result, our judicial system tends to terminate offenders rather than rehabilitate them.
Under the law, an offender who breaks the law is punishable. It is required by the law of justice that they suffer in return.
True justice is when judgment meted on the offender for the crime committed is proportional to the offense.
At times justice is not given, is misplaced or judgment is not proportional to the offense committed.
If we esteem others better than we are, life will be a better place. We will change people rather than terminate them.
Human beings can be very inhumane.
God shows us perfect examples of due consideration to each other.
First, His love constrains Him from marking iniquity when He wants to, Psalm 130:3.
Second, His love constrains Him from judging us according to our sins, Psalm 103:10
Third, He does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men, Lam 3:33.
Forth, He punishes offenders (1 Sam:12-14) but with the ultimate hope of restoration, Hosea 6:1-3, Zech 1:3, Mal 3:7.
He still remains merciful (Rom 9:15. He may choose to defer punishment (1 Kgs 21:29), He may choose to mitigate punishment, Gen 4:13.
He is retributive only to those who resist Him, Prov 1:26-28, Isaiah 13:11.
Always remember, Heb 13:1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
