Mini-Post: Judgment and Judgment [Quote]

Other people should be grateful that they will not have to stand before me in the final judgment. In the spirit of insights gained from a former teacher, if I were the judge, some people would be allowed into heaven who should not be there and others would be excluded who should be welcomed in. God will not make such mistakes. Although we can live in the confidence that God is a righteous judge and that in Christ we do not have to fear His judgment, it is still sobering to contemplate standing before the judgment seat of Christ (Romans 14:10). In the meantime, although not passing judgment on one another, should we not seek to do what we understand pleases the one who will be our judge?

–Thomas C. Alexander
