Everything The World Hates

“For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord” (Psalm 33:4-5)

The World Hates:

“For the word of the Lord is right”. God’s word is denied as right or even valid in today’s world.

“and all his works are done in truth” Truth is subjective to the world. It is relative to the desires of the day. Truth according to the world changes as wants and needs changes. Truth is a tool for the day and not necessarily a constant.

“He loveth righteousness and judgment”. This one not only repulses the world, but even surprises the Christian. God loves righteousness. God loves judgment. Judgment is separating the pure from the dross. It is the only way to perfection, holiness, and righteousness. All must, all will pass through judgment. It will free the elect and condemn the reprobate. What could be more exciting and joyful than the deliverance of God’s children?

“the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord”. Look how the world responds. God’s goodness revealed on earth is either denied existing, denied it is of God, or it is challenged, hated, and reviled. Just look at God’s greatest goodness on earth, His Son Jesus Christ on the cross. The world hates Christ and if it doesn’t outright deny His existence, it most certainly will deny and hate His power, purpose, and relevance.
