What does it mean that God has taken away our judgments?

Answered in 3 sources

God taking away our judgments means that believers are no longer subject to His wrath due to Christ's atoning work.

The act of God taking away our judgments signifies the profound truth of justification received by believers. In Zephaniah 3:15, it states, 'The Lord hath taken away thy judgments.' This means that through Christ's finished work on the cross, believers are no longer condemned but rather deemed righteous in God's sight. As 1 Thessalonians 5:9 underscores, God has not appointed His people to wrath but has instead established a way for them to obtain salvation. Consequently, this assurance grants believers confidence and joy, allowing them to rest under the shelter of God's grace without fear of judgment. It underscores the complete nature of salvation, affirming that God’s mercy triumphs over judgment for His elect.
