Trajectory Check
- Where is your life heading—towards Jesus or away?
- Small shifts lead to major misalignment over time.
Redefining Judgement
- Modern English skews “judgement” as harsh condemnation.
- Biblical Judgement = Discernment + Restoration (Greek: Krino).
- It’s not the opposite of love—it is love in action, confronting injustice and healing brokenness.
Judgement in Practice
- God’s judgement is corrective, not punitive.
- Meant to restore right relationships, justice, peace.
- Jesus models this: calling out injustice (e.g., Temple cleansing), not to condemn, but to restore worship and justice.
Scripture Highlights
- Isaiah 1:16-18, 58:6-10, Psalm 98:9, Jeremiah 7, John 3:16-17, Luke 6:41-42, Psalm 139:23-24
- Judgement calls us back to God and each other, not away from Him.
God’s Heart in Judgement
- God loves too much to leave the world broken.
- Judgement is love expressed as correction.
- Jesus takes our judgement to bring life, not death.
Living Under Loving Judgement
- Stop hiding. Start confessing.
- Embrace correction—it leads to healing.
- Be a restorer, not a condemner.
- Let God judge us to align our hearts with His.
Final Invitation
- Judgement = Invitation to wholeness.
- “Search me, O God… lead me in the way everlasting.” (Ps. 139)
