Judgment is a discernment or separation between good and evil. God judges among people and their actions according to the standards of His LAW. Judgment can refer either to this process of discernment or to the punishment meted out to those who fall under His wrath and condemnation.

In the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible the most important judgment is the final judgment, the ultimate separation of good and evil at the end of history. The return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth, the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment, together with the end of the world - all these may be thought of as belonging to a single complex of events at the end of time.

From earliest times it has been recognized that God himself is the Judge of mankind - Gen. 18:25 - and that He has the power and wisdom to judge with righteousness, truth,and justice. - Ps. 96:13, 98:9 -

The final judgment is a task given specifically to God's Son to conclude His work as mediator, deliver His people from sin and destroy all God's enemies. The precise time of this judgment is appointed by God, but it remains unknown to man.

I tell you most solemnly,
the Son can do nothing by himself;
he can do only what he sees the Father doing:
and whatever the Father does the Son does too.
For the Father loves the Son
and shown him everything he does himself,
and he will show him even greater things than these,
works that will astonish you,

Thus, as the Father raises the dead and gives them life,
so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses;
for the Father judges no one;
he has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
so that all may honour the Son
as they honour the Father,
Whoever refuses honour to the Son
refuses honour to the Father who sent him.

I tell you most solemnly,
whoever listens to my words,
and believes in the one who sent me,
has eternal life;
without being brought to judgment
he has passed from death to life. - John 5:19-24 -

'God overlooked that sort of thing when men were ignorant, but he is telling everyone everywhere that they must repent, because he has fixed a day when the whole world will be judged, and judged in righteousness and he has appointed a man to be the judge. And God has publicly proved this by raising this man from the dead'. - Acts 17:30-31 -

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. But as for that day and hour, nobody knows it, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, no one but the Father only. - Matt. 24:36 -

God's people are associated with the Lord Jesus Christ in the exercise of this judgment.

As you know, it is the saints who are to judge the world and if the world is to be judged by you, how can you be unfit to judge trifling cases? Since we are also to judge angels, it follows that we can judge matters of everyday life, but when you have had cases of that kind, the people you appointed to try them were not even respected in the Church. - 1Cor. 6:2-3 -

Then I saw some thrones, and I saw those who are given the power to be judges take the seats on them. I saw the souls of all who had been beheaded for having witnessed for Jesus and for having preached God's word, and those who refused to worship the beast or his statue and would not have the brand-mark on their foreheads or hands; they came to life, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. - Rev. 20:4 -

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -

God bestows more consideration on the purity of intention with which our actions are performed than on the actions themselves - Saint August...
