Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Pastor Levi Lusko addresses difficult questions regarding God's justice, the fate of those who have never heard the gospel, and what happens to children or those lacking mental capacity when they die. Through scripture, he demonstrates that God's character is defined by perfect holiness and love, ensuring no one is judged for light they were never given and that children are safely held in His saving grace. Ultimately, believers are called to stop putting God on trial and instead humbly receive Christ's mercy and share His message with those in their reach.

Key Points

1.
Justice means a lot more to God than it does to you, as His essential nature is holy and perfectly fair.
2.
God is not willing that any should perish, which is why He demonstrated His love through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
3.
No one gets judged by what they haven't been given, as God holds individuals accountable based on what they received and were entrusted with.
4.
Children are not forgotten in the kingdom; they are central to it and teach believers how to humbly enter heaven.
5.
Don't let someone who is the recipient of grace be your reason for rejecting God's salvation.
6.
Eternity will be full of redemption that is far greater than human imagination, where present suffering will yield to eternal glory.
7.
Physical death is proof of God's commitment to justice, but at the cross, Jesus bore our sentence so that God's justice and love could collide and be satisfied.

Sermon Moments

“Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

“The real thing you should be worried about isn't the lack of justice, but the presence of justice.”

“There are no children in hell, and there are no grown-ups in heaven.”

“Hell is God's greatest compliment to free will.”

“I care about justice when you're going to get away with something. When it's me getting in trouble, oh, I don't want justice. I want mercy.”

“God says, 'I've got the aurora borealis to do my preaching where there's no preacher.'”

This Week

Examine your own spiritual state and trust Jesus for salvation rather than questioning God's fairness toward others.

Intentionally share the gospel with your children while they are young.

Support global missions and bible translation efforts so unreached communities can hear the gospel.

Answer honest questions and objections about faith with gentleness, respect, and biblical truth.

Receive comfort in God's grace if you have experienced the grief of losing a child, miscarriage, or stillbirth.

Approach God with childlike humility, abandoning self-reliance and pride.

Avoid harboring resentment toward God's extravagant grace extended to others, choosing instead to receive His mercy.

Remember This

Instead of worrying about how God handles others, we must recognize His perfect justice and grace, humble ourselves like little children, and make sure our own hearts are surrendered to Christ.

A Challenge for You
