Judgement

Judgment-   Please read all the following verses on judgment, we need to study this because as we know our every work is going to be brought into judgment.

Isa 26:8  Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
Isa 26:9  With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Beautiful.

Job 37:23  Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
Job 37:24  Men do therefore fear him...

We were told that our whole duty is to FEAR GOD and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.  Our God is excellent in power and in judgment. Truly we cannot find God out, His ways are beyond us, but He is EXCELLENT in power and in judgment and we do need to fear Him, reverently and with a real fear because if we don't fear God, who has total control of our eternal life, who should we fear?

Psa 9:7  But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
Psa 9:8  And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

We will be judged. Don't think you won't be. Don't think you're an exception.  Every secret thing whether it's good or evil.

Psa 94:14  For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Psa 94:15  But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

Judgment shall return unto righteousness. How beautiful is that?  Judgment isn't a bad thing, not like we make it out to be. We think being judged is something to be despised. Truthfully, judgment goes hand in hand with righteousness. If we accept Christ as our righteousness then as we are judged we will be judged in righteousness. There is nothing greater than Christ's righteousness. Nothing.  '...all the upright in heart shall follow it.'   By the grace of God we will follow Christ our righteousness and live as He would have us live. Our upright hearts are only upright because we have accepted Christ into our heart, He is our heart, our righteousness.

I have to pause here because there is a study tangent study I think we need to do…

Christ Our Righteousness.


By the grace of our LORD, tomorrow we will begin that study.

In HIS LOVE! HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!
