The Importance of Judgment
When I first became a Christian as a 16 year old with no church background, I pictured God's judgment purely in terms of personal morality. But this morality paradigm has the potential to blind us to a more basic perspective on judgment found throughout Christian scripture. Judgment is about overthrowing what is wrong with the world and establishing the good. So God is not to be thought of as the strict schoolmaster looking out for naughty children or ensuring we all keep his rules. He's more like the heroic justice commissioner who vows to root out corruption,. expose abuses of power and bring all tyrants down from their throats.
