God is the judge. He not only judges people according to their deeds, but supports his children with his decree to go below them... and holds them in his hand so all good comes from his acceptance and not from his inner blamelessness. He sits on his throne with the guilty on one side and the innocent on the other, describes them according to his creative word. The one who proves the success of his word.
God does not rate his courtroom on a scale; their choices are absolute. 

The standard of acceptance is based on what Christ has accomplished; his judgment corresponds to this redeeming acceptance in Christ; In this way God decides in advance who will belong to Christ, as the norm for the reception of his children; we experience the mystery of how God is exalted on earth in his right to declare everything corrupt so that only he deserves the honor.
