“A Righteous Standard for Judgement-Jack Blake”
Categories: Good News, Jesus, MercyGreetings Brethren and Friends,
Jesus said: "If anyone hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge Him for I did not come to judge the world but to save it. The one who rejects Me and does not receive My words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge Him on the last day."
Jesus Christ is the righteous judge whom we all will stand in front of on that last day to give account for things done on earth, whether good or bad. Jesus does not want to condemn man, and there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. If we repent, we will stand before Him forgiven and justified, not because of our greatness, but because of His love, grace and actions He took on our behalf. True, all have sinned, but it is also true that all can be justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Him.
It sounds frightening to say we must all stand before the judgement seat of Christ, but Judgement for the obedient means salvation, not condemnation. We have a choice, step into the light of Christ, or learn what staying in darkness means.
Christ will make no mistakes at judgement, for He knows the hearts of all. God be thanked for sending us His beloved Son in whom is redemption and eternal life and for His inspired word by which we will be judged.
