God's power in judgment is demonstrated through His sovereignty over nations and the events of history.
Throughout the sermon, God's authority to judge and save is prominently displayed. Psalm 76 illustrates that none can stand against God when He rises in anger; His judgment brings about fear and acknowledgment of His sovereignty. The preacher reflects on historical accounts, such as the defeat of the Assyrian army, to show that God's intervention leads to the salvation of His people and the condemnation of adversaries. This dual aspect of judgment highlights God's righteous nature where justice is administered, not just for punishment, but ultimately for the preservation and protection of His own. This act of judgment, particularly at the cross, serves as the ultimate display of God's power, where He executed justice through Christ while also providing salvation for the elect.
