By the crimes of our times we mean the sins that have brought our great nation to the brink of eternal judgment. We are living in a day of great lawlessness and ungodliness, and just about every man, woman, and child is doing what seems right in his or her own eyes, giving no heed to the righteous demands of God’s holy law. Wickedness abounds in every stratum of our society. Civil disobedience is the law of the land. Corruption in our judicial and law enforcement systems is an affront to the righteous claims of God and His holy law, for each official placed there is “a minister of God…a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” (Rom 13:4). Therefore, according to Ezekiel 3:18, God will require at their hands the blood of every criminal whom they have let slip through their systems without punishment.
The God of the Bible hates sin, and we can rest assured that every transgression and disobedient act will receive a just recompense of reward (Heb 2:2), for God is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity without punishing it.
The Bible further declares that God is no respecter of persons, and that He “will render to every man according to his deeds: to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality [in Christ]:” these shall have eternal life in Christ, based upon His substitutionary work at the cross; “but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness,” they shall abide under the indignation and wrath of God forever (Rom 2:6-8, 11)…
