God is a finisher. He determines the end from the beginning. When God saves us, he has a completion in mind. When God gave Canaan to Israel, He completed His promises to them and they had taken control of it and divided it between the twelve tribes during the lifetime

It is so easy to “preach” from experience, or to “preach “justice” or “right and wrong”, but Jesus did not tell us to preach what we have experienced or to preach what we know or to preach what we feel. Paul told Timothy, “Preach the word.” Jesus preached the word.

Why should we keep learning about faith when we have already put our faith in Christ Jesus? The simplest answer to that question is given to us by Apostle Paul when he restates the Old Testament passage, “The just shall live by faith.” When the love of God was revealed

Without justice, there would be no need for mercy. Mercy is demonstrated when the judge is sure of your guilt but decides to not give you the penalty you deserve. You can have justice without mercy but you cannot have mercy without justice. God is just and He gives mercy
