Why is it important to believe that Jesus will judge the world?

The belief in Christ as the judge of the world emphasizes His authority and righteousness. In Mark 14:62, Jesus speaks of His return as the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, indicating His role in final judgment. John 5:22 states, 'For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son.' This signifies that our judgment will not be based on our deeds alone but on whether we are found in Christ, who is our advocate and whose righteousness covers us. This truth instills both awe and comfort: awe before His majesty and comfort in our assurance of salvation through Him.
