1Pet.1:17 If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear:

All of us like the thought God is not partial, he God, judges all impartially the lowly and the great. But do we understand the context of God's impartiality the apostle Peter speaks too hear?

John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

John 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.

John 3:14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 3:17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

First, God cannot lie, he is not corrupt, or can he be corrupted by anything in heaven or on earth being incorruptible so if God says something it is righteous as was his law given to Moses. We must always bear in mind when the bible uses the word righteousness it is speaking to those not having their sins accounted too them by God's provision of mercy. God is righteous, Christ is righteous because neither have sinned. They are right, or upright because they do not break God's laws that are righteous.

Isaiah 43:15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."

Isaiah 6:3 One called to another, and said, "Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!"

Revelation 15:4 Who wouldn't fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship before you. For your righteous acts have been revealed."

That is God's standards based upon a sinless law, a righteous law that always condemn sinners, as unworthy of eternal life. Hence, God than makes a way for sinner to stand right before him by his great mercy, in the past it was the blood shed upon the mercy seat within God's temple by the high priest. Christ is God's high priest for Christian's who had his blood shed and enter into the most holy before Jehovah God to atone for our sins. The small and the great are equal under the blood of Christ, and/or the new covenant made with God's people spiritual Israel.

John 7:37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

John 6:37 All those who the Father gives me will come to me. Him who comes to me I will in no way throw out.

John 3:19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

But is this what comes to mind when speaking of God's impartiality? In other words, God's impartiality put each one of us under undeserved kindness, and/or unmerited kindness, and nothing else, which most bible use the word grace. Subsequently, being God is a righteous judge does he have two standards of judgment, that is, works of law for our enemies and unmerited kindness for us? In other words, what works have we done to earn God's undeserved kindness?

James 2:8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself,"{Leviticus 19:18} you do well. 2:9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. 2:11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery,"{Exodus 20:14; Deuteronomy 5:18} also said, "Do not commit murder."{Exodus 10:13; Deuteronomy 5:17} Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 2:12 So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom.

Now that may be highly offense to some, but how can we love God whom we cannot see while judging others by a standard we ourselves cannot keep? Do we believe the lie that God is letting us off be spending his Son blood for us, unequivocally blotting out our sins once for all times, while judging others by another standard?

Matt. 18:4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
18:5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me, 18:6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

Matt.18:21 Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"
18:22 Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven.
18:23 Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants.
18:24 When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.{Ten thousand talents represents an extremely large sum of money, equivalent to about 60,000,000 denarii, where one denarius was typical of one day's wages for agricultural labor.}
18:25 But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
18:26 The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!'
18:27 The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
18:28 "But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii,{100 denarii was about one sixtieth of a talent.} and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
18:29 "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!'
18:30 He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due.
18:31 So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
18:32 Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me.
18:33 Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?'
18:34 His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him.
18:35 So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."

Once two standards are taught, and practice it corrupt God for people, it means there are no standards, the standards changes by what we do by works of law. God becomes an every changing shadows under a great tree of sin varying in degrees by human emotions and motives. We understand the fallen flesh is corrupt, it love removing the speck in others eyes while overlooking the log in our own that is the measure of the fleshly mind, and it falls under the same judgment.

Matt.7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you. 7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?
7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?
7:5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

But why? If we measure out death, why would we think for a moment we would get life back from the Spirit above? In other words, if God is impartial than he would give all a chance to repent and turn to him in love, love of what? A complete forgiveness of sins that we should legally by his righteous law be put to death over. Now why would that not move a person to love his enemies, why won't that be the wonderful message we should preach, but is it?

Matt.5:43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor,{Leviticus 19:18} and hate your enemy.{not in the Bible, but see Qumran Manual of Discipline Ix, 21-26}' 5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
5:45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
5:47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Do we honestly think God is going to lie to us, and rescind the new covenant of owing no one anything but love because those still in their flesh naturally sin, and cannot stop sinning, and/or put away the filth of the flesh? Are we still trying to reform the flesh of other so we can fit them into a religion, our personal religion or otherwise? Are we making those in the flesh a better sinner, or are we thankful Jehovah God has killed our own flesh burying it in Christ so we no longer are under his righteous judgments of sin?

Galatians 3:2 I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

Galatians 2:16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

What measure are we teaching? What measure are we measuring out? Do you understand the law brought honest hearted people to God's love, his new covenant because of his great mercy for their not being able to keep his law. It humbled them to ask God for what? Salvation, not putting away the filth of their flesh, they begged God and bless him in putting faith in his goodness of his gift, and not their own. This is the first love we should never move away from, when we do we become harden in our love for others, we do, as the flesh does, judge, judge, judge to make ourselves look better, feel better about our own unrighteousness.
John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

James 4:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
