45. Judgment

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 1 Peter 1:17-19 (KJV)

The New Testament proclaims that at some unforeseeable time in the future God will bring down the final curtain on history, and there will come a Day on which all our days and the judgments upon us and all our judgments upon each other will themselves be judged. The judge will be Christ. In other words, the one who judges us most finally will be the one who loves us most fully. > Fredrick Buechner.

There is no fear of judgment for the man who judges himself according to the Word of God. > Howard G. Hendricks.

You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends. > Joseph Conrad.

History shows that Christ on the cross has been more potent than anything else in arousing a compassion for suffering and indignation at injustice. > F. J. Foakes-Jackson.

A man’s judgment of another depends more on the one judging and on his passons than on the one being judged and his conduct. > Paul Tournier.

I believe the troubles that have come upon us are in part a judgment of God on us for our sins; and that unless we repent and turn to God we are finished as a free democratic society. > Billy Graham.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them. > Mother Teresa.

The average man’s judgment is so poor, he runs a risk every time he uses it. > Ed Howe.

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing; others judge us by what we have done. > Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
