Those consequences which follow from our actions or characters by the operation of God's laws are his judgements upon us.
You may juggle human laws, you may fool with human courts, but there is a judgement to come, and from it there is no appeal.
If you want a significant man, with absolutes, morality, and meaning, then you must have what the Bible insists upon -- that God will judge men justly, and they will not be able to raise their voices because of the base upon which He judges them.
Death in the City (Downers Grove, InterVarsity Press: 1969) 116
All roads lead to the judgment seat of Christ.
God judges a man not by the point he has reached, but by the way he is facing; not by distance, but by direction.
If the slothful are to be condemned, that do nothing, much more those that do ill, and contrive to do all the ill they can.
God knows our situation; He will not judge us as if we had no difficulties to overcome. What matters is the sincerity and perseverance of our will to overcome them.
I am convinced that many men who preach the gospel and love the Lord are really misunderstood. People make a "profession," but because they haven't understood the message, they are not really saved. They feel a psychological need and they want psychological relief, but they don't understand that the Christian message is not talking only about psychological relief (though it includes that) but is talking about true moral guilt in the presence of a holy God who exists. The real need is salvation from true moral guilt, not just relief from guilt feelings. And I am certain many men who make a profession go away still unsaved, having not heard one word of the real gospel because they have filtered the message through their own thought forms and their own intellectual framework in which the word "guilt" equals "guilt feelings."
