Jesus is confirmed as the ultimate judge in the Bible, where His authority to judge all mankind is established through His role as the moral governor.
The authority of Jesus as the judge of all is affirmed throughout the New Testament. Hebrews 9:27 highlights the certainty of judgment, and Jesus is identified as the one who will execute this judgment. His dual role as Savior and Judge underscores His comprehensive understanding of humanity—having experienced life as a man. As the moral governor, His judgments will be perfectly righteous, taking into account not just actions, but the motives behind them. This comprehensive perspective conveys that every individual will face the grave reality of being held accountable before Christ, enhancing the gravity of His role as the final arbiter of justice.
