Ben Seewald, the deeply religious husband of 19 Kids and Counting star Jessa Duggar is tackling the injustices met by Christians from all over the world today .

Writing on his Facebook page, he said that God is always watching over His people and that He will judge the earth when the time comes.

"There are so many criminals getting away with robbery, rape, and murder. We hear of whole villages getting massacred in Western Africa, and young schoolgirls kidnapped, raped, and forced into submission to cruel men. We hear of people in far-east Asia who are incarcerated in hellish prison camps and starve to death because they hold to a different religion than that of the government," he said.

Seewald continues with the injustices in his Facebook post, and explains that God hates sin and that no sin will be left unpunished. "He sees every one, even the sins of your mind. God is coming to right all the wrongs. Beware of the wrath of God," he warned.

As an example, Seewald presented the different stories from the Bible such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the punishment of the whole world with the flood, from which only Noah and his family were saved.

"Read the words of Jesus and see how seriously He takes sin," he urged. Seewald warned people not to think of themselves as free of sin, since 1 John 1:8 said that "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

And he reminds us that there is no reason to compare ourselves to others or one sin to another since God's standard of good is the only perfection.

"He considers hate to be as serious as murder, and lust is as adultery," he explained.

Seewald said that many might object to his message, but he reminded people that he is merely the "mailman" to deliver God's word.

"I do not speak a hard truth because I think it will bring me popularity or the praise of men. I know it will not. I say it because I love and care about you. Your true friend is the one who tells you the most truth, even if it hurts him in doing so. It would be cruel of me to hide the truth that there is a coming judgment day," explained Seewald.

He did say, however, that there is hope in God's G.R.A.C.E, which he elaborated stands for God's Riches At Christ's Expense.

"No matter how sinful a person is God can save them by His grace," he said. "That's how a sin-saturated, prideful, idolatrous, lustful, covetous, selfish, God-hating wretch like me was saved. Without God's Holy Spirit giving me a new heart, I would be the same rebellious, God-hating wretch that I was before. I owe it all to His mercy and grace."
