As we continue our exploration of Knowing God, we shift from
the easy topics related to God’s love to the harder ones related to his
judgement. What does it mean to say God is our Judge, and how do we feel
about divine judgement? Moderns often dismiss the idea of judgement day,
but it is crucial to understand how God’s judgement is necessary for us to have
meaningful and moral lives – both at an individual and societal level.
However, the idea of God’s judgement is equally repugnant to our modern
sensibilities. How do we reconcile these ideas of needing God’s judgement but
not being able to stand it? Fortunately, the gospel message is far more nuanced
and powerful than anything we could ever imagine, and helps us make sense of God
the Judge.
