Ephesians 4:12 Cooperation has benefits; it exercises our spiritual gifts. It is essential in every aspect in life.
Justice and judgement...
These two concepts are related, but different. Judgement without justice is toxic.
Psalm 89:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Do I care deeply about God's justice?
Justice is righteousness, moral right, fairness, and equity. Justice leads to safety and security, which leads to prosperity.
Paul could be all things. He had a sense of justice that he did not have previously.
Kindness, generosity, and mercy is needed in civil society. Without these things, it's an animal way of life.
God's justice and judgement are what makes heaven real.
Deuteronomy 11:26 Moses presented Israel with a set of laws with a blessing and a curse.
A just society needs law. Anarchy is an atheistic concept. The nature of God has order.
Galatians 6:7,8 There is a law of sowing and reaping, just as there is blessing and cursing.
My justice could be different from another’s idea of justice. This is why it is important to seek God's justice.
Leviticus 19:34 Without justice there is not love and mercy. People are exploited.
I must ask God to fill me with His spirit. If I retain an animal-like nature, it will eventually conflict with God's judgement. It is God's desire that I am like Him.
Micah 6:8 His justice is impartial.
1 Corinthians 11:33,34 God's justice does not divide.
Do I want to take everything I am now to heaven?
Acts 10:34 How do I communicate with people not like me? Is my communication translation, not condemnation?
If I am going to judge, I must begin with God's justice.
Judgement comes from the word crisis. This is the idea of facing a decision that demands a choice. The day of judgement will be a day of crisis - a decision moment that could be good or bad.
Judgement condemns and frees. Not guilty is also a verdict. With God, justice is always served and it is always fair.
