But that’s just the human perspective. As a Christian, God calls you to look beyond the human perspective and recognize that there is a Divine plan being carried out as well. God makes it very clear in the Bible that no one will die until He wants them to. But He also makes it clear that we will all be judged by our individual motivations. This means that if it’s God’s will for you to be stabbed to death Thursday night, He’s going to find a way to make that happen. But if I am the one who stabs you for my own self-serving reasons, I’m going to answer to God for what I did. I’m not going to be excused because my behavior coincided with His will for your life. I didn’t know that He wanted you to die on Thursday. I arrogantly thought I had the power to end your life without God’s permission. I will be judged for my evil intentions, yet God will still enable me to kill you because He wants you dead anyway. See how it works? No one died in Paris prematurely from God’s point of view. But also from His point of view, the terrorists who killed those people and everyone who helped them were acting with evil intentions. No one gets out of anything in God’s justice system because we are stuck dealing with Him on both sides of death. So when you act like there’s no punishment for the wicked, what are you saying about God? You’re saying He’s an incompetent Judge, and that is hardly an appropriate way for you to be speaking of your King.
