Psalm 98 teaches that God will judge the earth with righteousness and equity, ensuring every sin is justly addressed.
Psalm 98 emphasizes that God comes to judge the earth and will do so with righteousness and equity. This assures believers that all injustices will be addressed, highlighting God's ultimate authority over all creation. The distinction made between the world and God's people signifies that while all will be judged, the outcome for the elect is different due to their justification in Christ. As believers in sovereign grace, we rest in the promise that God's righteousness ensures that we are brought into heaven without guilt, based solely on Christ's righteousness. This perspective on judgment evokes both reverence for God’s holiness and joy for the salvation provided to His people.
