God Only Uses The Just

Series: The Ethical Christian

I have been writing about the ‘just person’. Joseph, Ruth, Peter, and Moses are considered ‘just persons’ by God. All four individuals had their faults or imperfections by Jewish standards, but God is looking for individuals that are willing to perform His will.

To perform God’s will, a person must be willing to exercise justice no matter what form it takes or for whatever reason God declares. Throughout history, God has only used ‘just people’ to jumpstart any revival, any move of the Holy Spirit, and/or any new movement or trend within the Church. God is not looking for smart people or talented individuals. He is looking for people that have qualities of justice; He is not looking for perfect people.

God only wants people that are willing to go the extra mile. God says a just person is a person who does not ridicule others, which are not perfect or come from the same background as the religious people of the day. God requires a ‘just person’ to be able to listen to Him. They know when it is God talking and what their role is in response to what God wants (this is faith). Abundant knowledge will not help you or your connections to professional or influential people. God only wants you to blindly obey him and serve him with everything within you—this is a ‘just person’, a person of courage and boldness.

It is the just person that changes the world. It is the just person that carries the Gospel of Christ and the will of the Father into a dark and evil world. It is the ‘just person’; not the rich, beautiful, smart, talented, or persuasive talker that God is looking for.

In these last days, we must be that ‘just person’ if we are to do the will of God and love Jesus with all our heart. Let’s pray, “God raise up just people in these last days.” This is what Jesus would want me to be.
