0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:24.3	All right, guys, this week we're looking at Exodus 34, verses 6 and 7,
0:29.2	where God describes his own attributes. So let's go ahead and read Exodus 34, 6 and 7 from the Nazby 1995 edition. Then the Lord passed by in front of him, Moses, and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord
0:34.7	God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding and loving
0:38.1	kindness and truth, who keeps loving kindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity,
0:42.4	transgression, and sin, yet he will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the
0:47.5	iniquity of fathers on their children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.
0:52.0	So, guys, in these two verses, God describes seven distinct attributes of himself. And so far this week, we've discussed the first six.
0:58.9	God is compassionate, God is gracious, God is slow to anger, God's loving kindness, God is faithful,
1:05.1	and God is forgiving. And today we're going to focus on the last one. God is just.
1:10.4	So my pastor, Dr. Mark Hitchcock of Faith Bible
1:12.7	Church in Edmond, Oklahoma, he was nice enough to share his sermon notes with me. So I'm just going to read
1:16.5	his short notes here about how God is just. God doesn't want us to think he's all grace and
1:22.7	compassion. God doesn't show mercy and grace by ignoring or overlooking sins or compromising his justice and righteousness, right?
1:30.6	And also, I'll break away from the notes here just a little bit.
1:33.2	There are plenty of examples of this.
1:34.7	So go back to the fall of Adam and Eve, right, in Genesis 3.
1:38.1	In verses 23 and 24, therefore the Lord God sent him out from the Garden of Eden to cultivate the ground from which he was taken.
1:44.7	So he drove that man out and at the east of the Garden of Eden, he stationed the cherubim and the
1:49.3	flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. Okay. So Adam and Eve,
1:55.4	they displayed God's command and he pronounced judgment, right? It was with mercy, but this shows
1:59.8	that sin does have consequences. Then we see the flood, right? That happened in mercy, but this shows that sin does have consequences.
