Judge

Today, judgment leapt out at me, as in "he will come again to judge the living and the dead" and "The Lord wil not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain."

Judgment has always made me uncomfortable, but why? Would it make me comfortable to believe that people can behave however they wish without facing consequences? It seems that some of us (note the us, because I know I do this) abuse our Christianity by taking our forgiveness for granted. God's grace through Jesus, so no worries. Our OT professor pointed out yesterday that there is both love and jugdment in both testaments, and that to leave out either is "to impoverish the Gospel message."
