God’s Judgement
The whole world is judged guilty and under sin when it tries to judge itself
and tries to justify itself. If you would ask the average man or woman, they
would tell you that they think they’re OK. This in itself is self-justification
and self-sufficiency, which is the essence of human guilt, not realizing how
much we need God. We have to admit and confess that ” there is none that
does good, no not one” that ” all have sinned and come short of the glory of
God”, and ” Why do you call me good? There is only one good and He is God”.
God’s judgement is that “man at his best altogether vanity”. The best of us
at our best, through our best efforts can at best wish to attain to vanity.
Since ‘all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God’ and ‘the wages
of sin is death’ and ‘the soul that sins shall die’ ,God in His infinite mercy
and grace decided to save us by the coming of the Son of God Jesus Christ.
Apart from this all men would be condemned to destruction and eternal
separation. To the extent that men and women try to justify and excuse
their actions by being their own judge try to acquit themselves, they stand
under the condemnation of God as sinful wrongdoers, because they are
unrepentant sinners.
“Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under
the Law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be
held accountable to God. For ‘no human being will be justified in His sight’
by deeds prescribed by the Law, for through the Law comes the knowledge
of sin.
But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested,
being witnessed by the Law and the prophets; even the righteousness of God
through His faithfulness in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe: for there
is no difference:
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus Whom God has put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by His blood,
effective through faith.
He did this to show His divine forbearance He had passed over the sins
previously committed; it was to prove at the present time that He Himself
is righteous and that He justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.”
(Romans 3.19-26).
God’s righteousness leads us to repentance, to return to Him and be healed.
Despite our sinfulness, He has made a way of escape divine wrath.
He has declared us righteous because He has imputed the righteousness of
Jesus Christ to us. This is how He declares amnesty. This is how He shows
His mercy. This is the demonstration of Who He is! This is how we see His
divine and sovereign power and majesty, the miracle of our transformation
into His New Creation in Christ, our resurrection, our comeback from the
dead and return of the prodigal. This is how we know and declare what St.
Paul knew above all: Jesus Christ and Him as crucified and risen for our
for our sakes. The Lord of heaven and earth, the Unknown God who dwells
not in temples made with hands, who needs not anything, seeing that He
Himself gives to all life and breath and all things. We set forth everything
given by God to humanity, as given so that they may seek Him Who is not
far from each one of us , in Whom we live and move and have our being.
He transcends all that we are, all that we see and experience. He knows all
about us and yet He loves us despite our depravity. We announce that He
is unlike anyone or anything else we have ever known and that the Godhead
can not be molded into any one’s image or shaped into any known object
of worship. He can not be conformed to any preconceived notion or any
graven man-made likeness by the skill or cunning of men. God has
overlooked the times of ignorance, but know in these last days He desires
that all repent and return to Him. He is not willing that any perish but all
to come to repentance. He will come to judge the world in righteousness,
His righteousness. He is the Savior and the Just Judge! HALLELUJAH!
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
