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 commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously, between a man and his brother, and between his stranger.17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; the small as well as the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of any man; for the judgment belongeth to God: and the cause that is too hard for you shall ye bring unto me, and I will hear it.
7 Keep thyself far from a false speech; and him who hath been declared innocent and righteous thou shalt not slay; 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 (9:8) But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.
7 (9:8) But the Lord will sit enthroned for ever: he hath established for giving judgment his throne.8 (9:9) And he will judge the world with righteousness, he shall decide for the people, with equity.
14 For every deed will God bring into the judgment concerning every thing that hath been hidden, whether it be good, or whether it be bad.
9 I was looking until chairs were set down, and an Ancient of days seated himself, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of whose head was like clean wool; his chair was like flames of fire, and his wheels like fire that burnt;10 A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand times thousands ministered unto him, and myriad times myriads stood before him: they sat down to hold judgment, 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 And ye shall return, and see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that hath not served him.
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that will 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 In my soul have I longed for thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek for thee; for when thy judgments are sent on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
2 Every way of a man is straight in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
3 To exercise righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy childhood; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youthful vigor, and walk firmly in the ways of thy heart, and in the direction which thy eyes see: but know thou, that concerning all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
