Have you ever felt judged? Did it feel good? Probably not. Why then does the bible say? For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17 Will the house of God really be judged? Will God really judge His people? The bible tells us: 14 For the LORD will judge His people, And He will have compassion on His servants. Psalm 135:14 According to this text God will indeed judge His people. But notice that the verse also says that God will have compassion on His people. How can God both judge His people and have compassion? Doesn't judgment mean something bad? After all we usually feel bad when someone else judges us, don't we? Is it possible that we don't have the right view of God's judgment? Is the judgment really something to be afraid of? King David wrote: Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; Try my mind and my heart. Psalm 26:2 David
