Juízo
O juízo de Deus é manifestação de sua justiça e soberania. Ele julga o mundo, julga as nações e julga cada coração com perfeita equidade e misericórdia.
O juízo de Deus
Deus é juiz justo que prova os corações. Seu juízo é verdadeiro e alcança toda obra, secreta ou pública.
For God will bring every work into judgment,
Including every secret thing,
Whether good or evil.
For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them,even so the Son gives life to whom He will.For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voiceand come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
The Fourfold Witness
"If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself."
Then he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him.
And Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind."
Prestando contas
Cada um prestará contas de si mesmo a Deus. O juízo começa pela casa de Deus e depois alcança os que não obedecem ao evangelho.
The Law of Liberty
Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.
The Law of Love
I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that thereis nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him itis unclean.
For the time hascomefor judgment to begin at the house of God; and if itbegins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.
For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?
Justiça e redenção
O juízo de Deus é também redenção. Ele livrou Israel do Egito com juízos e salva os arrependidos pela cruz de Cristo.
Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight—
That You may be found just when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.
Zion hears and is glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
And now they break down its carved work, all at once,
With axes and hammers.
They have set fire to Your sanctuary;
They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground.
Heaven Exults over Babylon
After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, "Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her." Again they said, "Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!"
