    Derek Prince, Notes On Judging

    Uploaded by

    Matija Mošet
    This document discusses the principles of judging according to the Bible. It acknowledges that Jesus said "Judge not" but also said to "judge righteous judgment." It aims to reconcile these apparent contradictions. It explains that judging involves ruling and represents God's authority. Only those with responsibility and authority can rightly judge, such as Jesus and rulers representing God. However, we are never to make final judgments of others' character or conduct, as that is for God alone. We are only responsible for judging ourselves and our own conduct and submission to authority.

    Judging: When? Why? How? The Right To Judge 4077 I. How To Reconcile Apparent Contradictions Of Scripture A. Negative: 1. Matt.

    7:15Jesus said, Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. See also Rom. 2:13; 14:14, 1013; 1 Cor. 4:15; James 4:1112 B. Positive: 1. John 7:24Jesus also said, Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 2. See also Matt. 18:1517; 1 Cor. 5:15, 1113; 6:16 C. Explanation: judging is a function of ruling, descending downward from God 1. Gen. 18:25God: the judge of all the earth 2. 1 Pet. 1:17God the Father judges 3. John 5:22The Father has delegated judgment to the Son 4. Psalm 82:18Human rulers (judges) represent God to His people D. In the Old Testament, judges were rulers; later the rulers were the judges. There was no separation of executive and judicial function. II. Who Has The Right To Judge? A. Heb. 13:17Those who have responsibility also have authority for judging, and will themselves be judged. 1. Example of authorized judgment: Matt. 25:3133Jesus authorized to rule and judge 2. Example of persons not authorized to rule or to judge a. Gen. 19:9Lot in Sodom b. Ex. 2:14Moses in Egypt c. Luke 12:1314Jesus in His earthly ministry III. Where Are We Responsible To Judge? Whom? For What? A. 1 Cor. 4:15We are never responsible to make final judgment of anyones character or conduct, including our own. This is committed exclusively to God (See also Rom. 2:16, 14:1012; 2 Cor. 5:911) B. 1 Cor. 11:2832We are responsible to judge ourselvesour conduct, our relationships, our submission to authority. Individuals share responsibility for their lives with those in authority over them. 1978 Derek Prince MinistriesInternational
