The profound significance of the cross lies in the fact that divine judgment has already been rendered, and we have been declared righteous. Consequently, God does not treat us according to the merits of our sins. Thus, the completed judgment of God serves as the true reflection of our identity. We embody truth because God has accomplished all necessary work to allow us to stand in this life based on the completed judgment of Christ regarding all matters. This realization grants us a profound sense of freedom. We are empowered to declare the beginning from the end through His revealed word, which harmonizes all things and will ultimately be unveiled during the great judgment. In my view, our emotional experiences are fundamentally shaped by divine ordination. This assertion is grounded in the belief that God possesses an eternal perspective, which acts as a reflective lens through which our responses to worldly events are intensified and magnified in the context of eternity. The crux of this perspective is that as we contemplate our emotional lives under the scrutiny of divine judgment, the temporal and eternal realms converge more profoundly. Moreover, it is noteworthy that God has provided us with the gift of prayer, which enables us to articulate our emotions in a manner that aligns perfectly with divine righteousness, mirroring the emotional responses exhibited by Christ. This understanding offers us a foretaste of our future reign with Christ during the final judgment. The biblical texts provide us with foundational teachings regarding divine judgments, and the ultimate standard of justice resides within us, as God dwells in our hearts.
