Judgement: Lost in Translation
from Discovery Church Hosted by Discovery Church
06/07/2025 - Doug Pors Trajectory Check Where is your life heading—towards Jesus or away? Small shifts lead to major misalignment over time. Redefining Judgement Modern English skews “judgement” as harsh condemnation. Biblical Judgement = Discernment + Restoration (Greek: Krino). It’s not the opposite of love—it is love in action, confronting injustice and healing brokenness. Judgement in Practice God’s judgement is corrective, not punitive. Meant to restore right relationships, justice, peace. Jesus models this: calling out injustice (e.g., Temple cleansing), not to condemn, but to restore worship and justice. Scripture Highlights Isaiah 1:16-18, 58:6-10, Psalm 98:9, Jeremiah 7, John 3:16-17, Luke 6:41-42, Psalm 139:23-24 Judgement calls us back to God and each other, not away from Him. God’s Heart in Judgement God loves too much to leave the world broken. Judgement is love expressed as correction. Jesus takes our judgement to bring life, not death. Living Under Loving Judgement Stop hiding. Start confessing. Embrace correction—it leads to healing. Be a restorer, not a condemner. Let God judge us to align our hearts with His. Final Invitation Judgement = Invitation to wholeness. “Search me, O God… lead me in the way everlasting.” (Ps. 139)
