The Judgment Of God Is According To Truth

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. - Romans 2:2

    The conclusion of all matters, concerning both the righteousness and unrighteousness of all men, and all the deeds preformed by them, is according to divine truth. The rendering of punishment or acquittal is according to divine justice. With the judicial system established among man is something called “beyond reasonable doubt.” This suggests there is a possibility of error in judgment. Therefore, we cannot compare the judgment of man with the judgment of Almighty God, which is according to infinite truth. With him there is no doubt! Furthermore, the judgment of God perceives the motive of the heart. Man looks on the outward appearance, God looks on the heart. The verdict is forever settled in Heaven. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God (Rom 3:1).

    But with God there is justification for guilty sinners whereby God judges them in truth, perfectly innocent! This does not fit into man’s religious thoughts of justice and judgment, and can in no wise be incorporated into the moral judgment of fallible man. The judgment according to God is a contradiction to the judgment according to man, in that the Lord Jesus Christ is his people’s substitute. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Cor 5:21). Sinful man is judged and condemned by God according to truth. Those for whom Christ lived and died are judged by the Almighty God to be sinless, and therefore accepted by him in his Beloved—To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved (Eph 1:6).

    Those for whom Christ died, though guilty of every sin and transgression, have no guilt. Those who are judged by themselves and others to be innocent and righteous, are in truth judged guilty by God, and condemned to everlasting damnation. Christ makes the difference!
