MAIN TALK UNDERSTANDING GOD THE SCRIPTURES

Daily Bible Thought > 1Cor.4:5 - Judge Nothing Before The Time?

1Cor.4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Now Paul echoes the words of Christ Jesus; “stop judging and you will not be judged”. How can a Christian's judge what God has justified, a thing they could not understand in a fleshly state, how could they judge what God does not judge in removing their own judgment by giving them unmerited life of Christ Jesus? But one might say the bible is full of God's judgments, and we are to know between right, and wrong, how can we not judge, Paul himself is judging matters in his writings, why can't we? First we must understand Yahweh believes in love, not only does He believe in love He tells us love will not fail. Now the question is does He truly keep His word?

Yes, He does even if it shocks our fleshly sensibilities, God will finish the work He starts in removing our judgment by the merits of his Son's life given too us out of His own love, what does that mean? God is our creator, we are the works of His hands, He does not make mistake in picking His children. In other words, it is not a crap shoot randomly done by chance, no, our Father created the DNA, He created a new creation without sin, by removing our judgment that we might live in the life of Christ Jesus. Judging what God Himself does not, and thinking we can know the finish workings of God in one of His children is not in any man jurisdiction.

Paul understood this unmerited gift of Christ Jesus life is an irrevocable gift given by God, and not man. Moreover, he understood God own judgment of His children was with life in view, and not destruction - that each one would be saved, as if by fire. This judgments was in God's hands, Paul could correct, Paul could encourage, and rebuke if necessary, but he could not judge who was worthy of the unmerited irrevocable gift of Christ life. Paul did not make himself an evil slave beating his brothers as a master of this gift of the God, instead, what he did do is show love until the Lord comes, and all things will be reveal; he acted upon his faith, trusting God's love would not fail.
