"No Longer Judged"

 "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not." (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV)

  "Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on him the sins of us all." (Isaiah 53:4-6 NLT)

 Just in case you didn't understand the message, what Jesus went through on the cross was more than just a death and a punishment for our sins, because He could have stopped everything with just a word; but He endured everything that hurt and tore into His body, all the humiliation and the shame; He even withstood the insults, the mocking, and the judgment that was being placed upon Him. When, with each and every breath, He could have just said, "Enough!" and the whole thing would have stopped, immediately! 

 When we give our lives to Christ, we have entered into a covenant with God which cannot be undone! We don't get born again, just to satisfy the requirement of the Law; we are born again into the Kingdom of God! Jesus satisfied the requirements of the Law, by fulfilling them, and then paying the penalty for the Law that we could not satisfy on our own! 

 We cannot fulfill the requirements of the law, even if we wanted to; if we could, then Jesus would not have had to withstand all that He did, in order to take our place on that cross. But He did so because it was the Father's will for it to be done; it was what the Father wanted! If you really don't know what that means, it means that the Father was willing to put Jesus through all of that horrific punishment to save you and me from the penalty for our sins. After doing all of that, do you really think He will be judging anyone for their sins! 

 Those that will be judged and condemned, will not be judged for the sins they committed, as in breaking the Law; they will see those sins recorded in the books, but their judgment will be based upon the fact that they refused to accept God's free gift of forgiveness. So, they will be your own judge, that is, after they realize what they could have done, but refused to do it...

""God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son. And the judgment is based upon this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.""
