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.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying: 'Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of any man; for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.'
7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not; for I will not justify the wicked.
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.
7 But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
7 But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.8 And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
14 For God shall bring every work into the judgment concerning every hidden thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.
9 I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was as white snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire.10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Discernimento e graça
Temos um advogado junto ao Pai — Jesus Cristo. Não há condenação para os que estão em Cristo. Prove os espíritos.
18 Then shall ye again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their due reward from Me, saith the LORD.
9 With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the hearts.
3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
9 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, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
