Forever Fair

Scripture
Ezekiel 18:25-26 "Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair.' Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair?"
Observation
In this passage of Scripture, the prophet Ezekiel is confirming by the Spirit of the Lord that His way is fair and our ways are not fair. The people in Ezekiel's day were thinking that their righteous deeds without repentance would somehow cover their inequity and they would live; however, the Lord says that they would surely die. On the other hand, the Lord also says that if the wicked man turns and repents from his sin, he would surely live and not die. The people were having difficulty understanding that both the righteous and the wicked needed a Savior.
Application
Unfortunately, many people in our day can have the same difficulty understanding that both the righteous and the wicked need a Savior. There is no amount of self-righteousness we can have that will replace our need for a Savior. Plus, there is no amount of wickedness that we can do which our Savior cannot cover with His righteousness when we repent. Romans 3:23 states that "We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God" and 2 Corinthians 5:21 states, "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Through Jesus Christ, the Lord is forever fair to all who call upon His Name and repent.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I praise You for You are Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our Righteousness! Thank You Lord for shedding Your blood on the Cross to pay the debt for my sin and for giving me Your robe of righteousness that completely covers my sin in repentance. I am grateful Lord that Your ways are not my ways and Your way is forever fair! I love You Jesus! Amen!
