Revelation 15:3(NKJV)
They sing the song
of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
“Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty!
Just
and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!
Do you think that is
true? Is God a just God? Does the outright rejection of God by many
people justify God's response to those people?
In other words, is it "fair" that the people who reject God
are punished as severely as they are going to be punished?
I believe that answer is yes! If you believe that God is the creator of the universe as I do then He wrote all of the rules. He is the very one who determines what is just and what isn't.
God gives us free will. He allows us to use our intellect and make our choices freely. But that freedom to choose does not protect us from the consequences of those choices. We will still be held accountable. I believe that is totally fair because God makes the choice very clear in His word. The consequences are known up front. The people rejecting God made their choice knowing beforehand what the consequences would be. They can't claim "I didn't know" because they did. Therefore I think it is totally fair.
