“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.”— Proverbs 17:15 (KJV)God does not grade on a curve, and He is not impressed by public opinion. Right is right, and wrong is wrong—no matter how loudly the crowd shouts otherwise. Proverbs 17:15 draws a hard line that many today want blurred: to excuse wickedness or to punish righteousness is hateful in the sight of a holy God.This verse speaks straight to our age. We live in a time when evil is defended as compassion, and truth is attacked as hate. The wicked are applauded, protected, and excused, while those who stand for what is right are mocked, silenced, or condemned. God says plainly: both are an abomination. Not one or the other—both.God is a just Judge. “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25). He sees past slogans, feelings, and political spin. He weighs hearts, motives, and deeds by His Word—not by sentiment.This should sober us. It is easy to justify sin when it benefits us or those we like. It is just as easy to condemn the righteous when their obedience exposes our compromise. But God calls His people to love truth, uphold justice, and refuse to call darkness light.The good news is this: while God hates injustice, He delights in repentance. Christ did not justify the wicked in their sin—He saves sinners from their sin. At the cross, justice and mercy met. Sin was condemned, and the repentant were forgiven.So the question is simple and unavoidable: Are we standing with God’s truth—or bowing to the spirit of the age?Choose wisely. God has not changed.
