Pandemics, Politics, And The Judgment Of God

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on May 7, 2020

It is commonly believed that God 'judges' people today, and He does that by causing good things to happen to people doing good things and causing bad things to happen to people doing bad things.

This belief is nothing new and seen in Job, the oldest book of the Bible. Every use of the word 'judgment' referring specifically to God in the New Testament is regarding salvation and His eternal punishment for those who reject Jesus as Lord and Savior.
