What does it mean that Christ judges in righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Christ judges in righteousness, ensuring that His decisions reflect God's perfect justice and mercy.

When the Bible speaks of Christ judging in righteousness, it highlights the reality that His assessments on matters of life and death are rooted in God's perfect justice and mercy. As indicated in John 5, the Father has committed all judgment to the Son, meaning that Christ is the ultimate decider of eternal destinies. His rulings are not arbitrary; instead, they stem from His nature as both judge and advocate, as He intercedes on behalf of the sinner. This dual role assures believers that they do not face judgment alone. Instead, they have an advocate in Jesus, whose righteousness provides a basis for their declaration of 'not guilty' before the Father.
