The sixth basic principle in the application of the law of liberty

6.      Know that the Lord judges

The sixth basic principle in the application of the law of liberty is to know, understand and believe that judgement belongs to the Lord, for we have been duly admonished saying; “But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God." So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way” ( Romans 14; 10-13).

We have also received the admonition which states; “Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord” (Romans 12:19).

And again; “For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. And again, "The LORD will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:30-31).

So we are to be certain that we have a good knowledge and understanding of the law of liberty and not to use liberty as a pretext for sin for we have been duly admonished saying; “For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. “Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him,” For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men ---as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God” (Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 2: 15-16).

And finally; “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences” (2 Corinthians 5: 9-11).

And so let us make sure and make it our aim that we have a very good knowledge and understanding of the liberty that we have in Jesus Christ and do not neglect our responsibility as being slaves of righteousness which produces holiness and ultimately everlasting life (the immorality of the body) and the glorification of the spiritual body from one level of glory to another.
