Judgement Day is Not For Christians

 


One of the greatest stumbling blocks for believers is the fear of judgement, that God will make is face Him as he reads to us our words and deeds. So ingrained in our psyche is this image it can become hard to feel anything but fear before the Lord. The problem is  “what if this fear  Isn’t Real.” (Broken, The Great Divide, Scott Stapp) 


The World will face God’s wrath, the unrepentant world that is. For Jesus Christ our Lord is the Judge of Judges, “For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.” (John 5:22-23). Jesus will judge, so if you so not believe in Him as Lord, Son of God, and Savior the judgement is a certainty. But for us believers the matter is entirely different. 


Jesus promises us in His own words: 


“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” (John 5:24). Notice the promise is everlasting life and “shall not come into judgement.” Shall is absolutely, unequivocally, and one hundred precent certainty. This means if you are a Trinitarian Christian, who believes in The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as One God in Three Persons, then judgement shall never touch you! 


This is a promise of Jesus who will judge all! If you place your faith in Him, there is no need for fear! How many precious moments have we wasted on trying to escape judgement with pious deeds or feared despite are blessed hope we may somehow still be subject to a Trial in Heaven’s courts? Our Lord has spoken! He says you who put your trust in Him who is One with the Father (John 10:30) will not be judged! 


Now you may ask, what of Jesus’ other saying, “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.” (Matthew 12:36). How does one reconcile this with John 5:26, “.. you shall not come into judgement”? Its important when rightly dividing the Scriptures you look at who Jesus is speaking to. The Matthew 12:36 verse is directed towards Pharisees who are unbelievers, and antagonists who called Jesus Bezeelbub (prince of demons, see Matthew 12:24)! So this saying along with the warning of Blaspheming the Holy Spirit was for the Pharisees (unbelievers, disbelievers), not believers. While John 5:26 is a promise for is who believe in Jesus that we shall not face judgement! Amen.

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
