The Judgment of Christ

We are all condemned to death for breaking God's holy, righteous and good law. However, God has handed Judgment over to His Son. Firstfruits stand now before the judgment seat of Christ, and the rest of humanity will be judged later before Christ and His throne. This is good news. Christ did not come to condemn but to save. He demonstrated the Father's love for the world on the cross; that same love should compel us toward a lawful life that is also fruitful and multiplies God's Holy Spirit -given to us a guarantee of God's love and mercy. The Holy Spirit is the gracious power of God that convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Firstfruits have the great honor of being called back to God first as Kings and Priests in God's plan to reconcile the world to Himself through Christ. Let us not squander such privilege during our judgment period - how's your judgment coming along?
