Julgamento
O julgamento pertence a Deus. A Bíblia adverte contra o juízo precipitado entre irmãos e revela que Cristo é o juiz justo que julgará vivos e mortos com perfeita equidade.
Não julgueis
Jesus disse: não julgueis para que não sejais julgados. Com o juízo com que julgais, sereis julgados.
Julgar com justiça
Quando precisar avaliar, julgue segundo a justa aparência. Não julgue pela carne, mas pelo Espírito e pela verdade.
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear causes between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. Thou shalt not have respect to persons in judgment, thou shalt judge small and great equally; thou shalt not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgment is God’s; and whatsoever matter shall be too hard for you, ye shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.
Thou shalt abstain from every unjust thing: thou shalt not slay the innocent and just, and thou shalt not justify the wicked for gifts.
O tribunal de Cristo
Todos compareceremos diante do tribunal de Cristo para prestar contas. Cada um dará conta de si mesmo a Deus.
Deus é o juiz
O Senhor julgará o mundo com justiça. O juízo de Deus é verdadeiro e justo — Ele conhece todos os segredos do coração humano.
The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise,
The swords of the enemy have failed utterly; and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorial has been destroyed with a noise, but the Lord endures for ever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.
For God will bring every work into judgment, with everything that has been overlooked, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Discernimento e graça
Temos um advogado junto ao Pai — Jesus Cristo. Não há condenação para os que estão em Cristo. Prove os espíritos.
Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, and between him that serves God, and him that serves him not.
I will not suffer any weapon formed against thee to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against thee for judgment, thou shalt vanquish them all; and thine adversaries shall be condemned thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and ye shall be righteous before me, saith the Lord.
which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks thee very early in the morning, O God, for thy commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.
Every man seems to himself righteous; but the Lord directs the hearts.
To do justly and to speak truth, are more pleasing to God than the blood of sacrifices.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart blameless, but not in the sight of thine eyes: yet know that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
