Whose Side is God On, Anyway?
“God is on our side.” I hear a lot of people saying this
lately. Yes, there is the verse in
Romans 8 that says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” And I believe that in the sense that Christ
died for our sins--yes, God is now on our side.
But that doesn’t mean we can hitch him to our
individual wagons of likes and dislikes—politics, economic systems, cultures,
or even our favorite sports teams.
A sobering reminder of this can be found on old Nazi
SS uniforms (Hitler’s elite soldiery).
Their brass buttons said (in German, of course) “God is on our side.”
Fortunately for our current civilization, He wasn’t.
My conclusion is that no matter what we claim about
whose side God is on, He reserves the right to say, “I’ll be the judge of
that.”
God gets the last word.
