Judging, Justice and Judgement

God's Holy Spirit gives the gift of "discerning of spirits"
1Cr 12:8
For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

1Cr 12:9
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

1Cr 12:10
To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Here is one of the things God wants us to do with this gift of discerning of spirits or judgement.

"Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it." Prov. 3:27.

Should I judge others?

"Judge not, that ye be not judged, for with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Matt. 7:1, 2.

When someone is evil toward me how should I respond?
"Recompense to no man evil for evil." Rom. 12:17.
"Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing." 1 Peter 3:9.

What happens to those who render evil for good?
"Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house." Prov. 17:13.

Will God judge all men?
"Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner." Prov. 11:31.

How will God judge each man's work?
"Every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire: and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." 1 Cor. 3:13.

What kind of judge is God?
"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" Gen. 18:25.
"Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne; mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Ps. 89:14.

"Who will render to every man according to his deeds;
for there is no respect of persons with God." Rom. 2:6, 11.

Am I able to make a choice of how I will be judged?
"See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil." Deut. 30:15.
"Thus saith the Lord: Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death." Jer. 21:8.

Will the cases of any be overlooked in the judgment?
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." 2 Cor. 5:10.

What shall determine the nature of the reward in each case?
"Be not deceived: God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Gal. 6:7.

As a wrong doer, what do I face?
"For he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption." Gal. 6:8. "Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil." Rom. 2:9.

May I have a lawyer?

1John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

What shall be the recompense of the righteous?
"But he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Gal. 6:8.
"But glory, honor, and peace to every man that worketh good." Rom. 2:10.

What scripture brings to view the cases of all as decided forever, and the time when it is accomplished?
"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly." Rev. 22:11, 12.

"For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" Heb. 2:2, 3.
