To Avoid Judgment
Just Judge,
While I acknowledge and confess my sin of judging others, there is an even greater judgment about which all people need to be concerned: the verdict you will render against us when we stand before you in judgment. While we may be able to keep our sins hidden from others, they will all be laid bare before you. If you kept track of our every sin, we know full well our verdict would be “guilty” and our sentence would be condemnation.
But as believers who know we have been bought and paid for with the blood of Jesus Christ, we know our sins no longer accuse us before you. They have been paid for and we have been forgiven. Therefore, we will be able to stand before you in judgment with full confidence. We already know the verdict: “not guilty.” There is no condemnation for those who stand in your grace, which means there is no fear of judgment. Use me to lead others to know that they don’t need to be afraid of judgment, either.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
