Psalm 50 – Judgement/Rebuke

A Psalm of Asaph

I Chronicles 15:19, Nehemiah 12:46, 2 Chronicles 29:30

1. All await a future judgment by Almighty God (1-6).

EL – ALMIGHTY

ELOHIM – REVERED ONE

JAHVE – ABSOLUTE IN EXISTENCE

Israel’s covenant contrasted with the new covenant:

See Hebrews 7:22-8:13

 

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:17

2. Instruction and rebuke from God to His people (7-23).

a. Religious formalism with no heart devotion (7-15).

(2 commandment – Exodus 20:3-5)

b. Religious instruction with no heart obedience (16-21).

Romans 2:21-23

(7th –9th commandments – Exodus 20:14-16).

3. A call to repentance and salvation (22-23).

Application: How does this apply to my life today?
