God Is Fair

God is a perfect combination of love and justice (I John 4:16; Isa.
11:2-4). He punishes at particular periods in history the wicked for
their sins.

But what of the millions of people for whom Christ died, yet who--
through no fault of their own--did not know of God's provision to offer
them salvation at a later time? How will they learn of salvation?

The answer is revealed in the final step in God's Master Plan--pictured
by the seventh and final Holy Day.

After Christ returns and establishes the Kingdom of God on earth, He
will then begin to teach the way of salvation to millions. As we learned
in our last lesson, all those born during the Millennium will have their
opportunity to understand God's truth and be born into His Family during
the Millennium.

But what about the thousands of millions who have already died without
ever hearing or understanding the way of salvation?

After the Millennium, they will be resurrected to mortal life and given
their opportunity to understand God's truth, to be begotten by God's
Spirit, to grow in His character, and to become spirit-composed members
of His ruling Family.

God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). Everyone will ultimately
be given an opportunity to receive salvation! God is absolutely fair!

Just as the week is not complete without the seventh-day Sabbath, God's
Master Plan is not complete without His seventh and final annual
festival-- the Last or Final Great Day.

The number seven in the Bible indicates completion and perfection. This
seventh festival of God reveals the perfection of God's great Master
Plan-- that God's love and mercy toward mankind will extend beyond the
Millennium.

In this lesson you will see God's perfect justice and mercy on all those
who have not yet had their opportunity for salvation. To understand this
final phase of God's plan, let's learn about the last of God's annual
Holy Days, symbolizing the Last Great Judgment Day!
