The Pattern of
God's Judgment
The Bible is a book of judgment.
It reveals to us that the world is ordered and sustained by the Eternal God: He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he - Deuteronomy 32:4KJV. God has revealed to us judgments which He has made in the past and ones He will make in the future. What can we learn from the pattern of His judgment? How does it relate to our generation?

The Bible opens with God’s first judgment. He punished Adam and Eve for their sin against His law. This judgment is the reason why sin and death came into the experience of the human race. The fact we die bears witness to God’s judgment.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible documents God’s relationship with the men and women He created and how He brings them into judgment.
The primary focus of God’s judgment relates to one people - Israel. On account of God’s special relationship with this people, they also have known His judgment more than any other: “You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities” - Amos 3:2.
Let’s investigate what we can learn from the pattern of God’s judgment.
