Judgment stands as a weighty matter of the law, emphasized by Jesus Christ as essential alongside mercy and faith. For the converted Christian, judgment is a present reality upon the house of God, involving decisions for or against, akin to a tribunal that implies justice. Justice encompasses the impartial adjustment of conflicting claims or the assignment of deserved punishment or reward, striving to be factual, reasonable, faithful, morally upright, good, fair, righteous, impartial, and legally correct. Christ rebuked the Pharisees for focusing solely on the legally correct aspect, neglecting fairness and impartiality, and urged a broader application in decision-making. Christ warns against condemning others, as such judgment will be returned upon us. He instructs that while we must evaluate others' deeds, we should first overcome our own weaknesses and sins to avoid hypocrisy before aiding others with their difficulties. As we judge others, so will He judge us, reflecting the principle that our attitude toward others mirrors the attitude He will take toward us. We are called to judge with righteous judgment, not by appearance, analyzing right and wrong based on the mind of God as revealed in His Word, and applying it critically in our interactions. Life demands daily judgments about people and circumstances, whether in mundane matters or significant decisions like friendships and marriages. Proper judgment is crucial to avoid grief from snap decisions or those driven by selfish desires, requiring thorough research and contemplation to ensure sound evaluations. Our purpose in life is to learn to render proper judgments of right and wrong, exercising wisdom as preparation to be leaders and teachers in God's family, managing angels and men. While God ultimately makes final judgments on all, ensuring justice over a lifetime, He ponders hearts carefully, observing individuals over time and in varied circumstances. Teachers and those in influence face sterner judgment, needing to live out what they teach to avoid hypocrisy. God desires us to judge righteous judgment, looking beyond the physical to the fruits of the Spirit, analyzing people and their actions to choose mates, friends, and ministers wisely. The Pharisees erred by abandoning God's yardstick for judgment, relying on their own traditions that transgressed His law, leading to vain worship and harsh dealings with others through carnal reasoning and situation ethics. Their partiality destroyed godly standards, allowing wickedness to reign. God calls us to use His entire Word to render justice, balancing all scriptures to make impartial and objective decisions, recognizing that judgment, as the aim of the law, is weightier because it ensures justice is done. Since we do not yet have His mind, He provides the Bible as a guide to strive toward perfection, helping us determine the proper course in every situation through its laws, principles, and circumstances.
