For the LORD is our judge; the LORD is our lawgiver; the LORD is our king; he will save us.
James 4:12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor?
Acts 17:30-31
30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead."
Messiah, King, Judge, Redeemer, these are are just a few of the names which belong to the Christ! He is merciful but He will judge our rebellion! We are here to preach the truth of the gospel!
2 Timothy 4:1-4
1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
Sweet Jesus, help us teach, help us to walk the straight and narrow, help us to show compassion and yes Lord, help us to be bold in speaking the gospel to the lost! Amen
