John 8:15
” You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.8.15.BSB
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word (Hebrews 4:12) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Isaiah prophesied the coming of Jesus:
Isaiah 11:1-4
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; Noted in Revelation 5:6)
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity(an impartial or fair act, decision, etc) for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
To be clear, we will see that Jesus will judge our righteousness. The word says he looks at the thoughts and intent of those he has made righteous, and when he is aligned with us, we become a reflection of his righteousness.
Let’s understand this, he is judging the works of righteousness which we can only reflect from him being Christ; according to his righteousness not our own. Those that are called to him and are his people will display his righteousness by believing in him and his work of righteousness towards us.
Now anyone whom Christ does not know, although they may proclaim they know his name, they may not have a testimony of his righteousness, so it’s possible that he may tell them to depart from his presence.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Jesus prophesied the coming of the Holy Spirit and who he is:
John 16:7-8 AMP
But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you].
And He, when He comes, will convict (to prove or declare guilty of an offense, especially after a legal trial.)the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Savior], and about righteousness, and about judgment:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:7-8&version=AMP
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
We will need wisdom to understand and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us.
1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
We can see the importance of righteousness and what Christ himself said momentarily. We must recognize that He will judge our work, (proclaiming his righteousness) because we are to be his oracles, according to “His Righteousness”. This is where our work (proclamation of Christ’s righteousness)is done, which is the belief in Christ alone as the righteous one.
Genesis 6:5
“Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Gen.6.5.BSB
Jeremiah 17:9-10 KJV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins(faithfulness), even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2017:8-10&version=KJV
And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the Lord: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
20 If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
Let’s review the word:
Peter said unto them, Amend your lives, and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins:
and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Ghost.
Then they that gladly received his word, were baptized, and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand souls.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts.2.38,Acts.2.41&version=GNV
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb.4.12&version=KJV
Matthew 7:23
” Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’
Here is where see that the Lord mentions why he gave commandments to Moses for his people in the Old Testament:
Matthew 15:19
“For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, and slander.” http://olivetree.com/b2/Matt.15.19.BSB
Matthew 15:20
” These are what defile a man, but eating with unwashed hands does not defile him.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Matt.15.20.BSB
John 12:31
” Now judgment is upon this world; now the prince of this world will be cast out.”
1 Timothy 2:5 KJV.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews 9:15 KJV
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%209:15&version=KJV
**Isaiah 48:12-13 are the called:
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
2 Peter 2:9
“if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.”
This redemption of transgression was under the Old(First) Testament by design. In this, the Father can be glorified in the son.
This is what Jesus said:
John 10:14
” I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,“
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.10.14.BSB
John 12:48: “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.”
Jesus always recognized his people’s intent and their works. He also recognizes those who are counterfeit and have no true belief in proclaiming his righteousness.
22 On that Day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we expel demons in your name? Didn’t we perform many miracles in your name?’
Then I will tell them to their faces, ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
Jesus has the ultimate authority to do what he has heard from the father:
Matthew 17:5 KJV
While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2017:5&version=KJV
Luke 8:1
“Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Luke.8.1.BSB
Listen closely to the next verse as Paul provides details about who is speaking by the Spirit of God as it pertains to Jeshua (Jesus).
1 Corinthians 12:3
” Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. “
http://olivetree.com/b2/1Cor.12.3.BSB
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Here is the how we should understand the salvation message of Christ’s Kingdom regarding the judgment.
Christ’s division of his people from other’s people is required when we receive the Kingdom of God.
It divides those that have received the Holy Spirit from those who have not received him. The Wheat is separated from the Tares, the Leaven separated from the Unleavened, the sheep separated from the goats, etc.
John 7:5-7 KJV
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John 14:12-14 KJV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014:12-14&version=KJV
John 8:19
” Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.8.19.BSB
John 8:20
” He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come. “
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.8.20.BSB
John 8:23
” Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.“
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.8.23.BSB
John 8:26
” I have much to say about you and much to judge.
But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.8.26.BSB
I speak the things that I have seen with the Father; so also you do the things that you have heard from the Father.” (John 8:38, LEB)
They answered and said to him, “Abraham is our father!” Jesus said to them, “If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham! (John 8:39, LEB)
But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do. (John 8:40, LEB)
John 9:18
” The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents“
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.9.18.BSB
John 9:22
“His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.”

John 9:29
” We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”http://olivetree.com/b2/John.9.29.BSB
John 9:34
” They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.” http://olivetree.com/b2/John.9.34.BSB
Remember this: Matthew 24:39 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
John 9:35
” Spiritual Blindness

http://olivetree.com/b2/John.9.39.BSB
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205:20-22&version=KJV
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Mark 9:45-47 AMP If your foot causes you to stumble and sin, cut it off [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]! It would be better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell, [where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.]
If your eye causes you to stumble and sin, throw it out [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]! It would be better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

Luke 12:49
” Not Peace but Division
(Micah 7:1–6; Matthew 10:34–39)
I have come to ignite a fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!”
Luke 12:51
“Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.”

John 10:19
“Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.10.19.BSB
Now Paul shares what this division looks like:
Acts 3:13 KJV
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%203:13&version=KJV
Acts 19:1
” The Holy Spirit Received at Ephesus
(Acts 10:44–48)
While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Acts.19.1.BSB
Acts 19:2
” and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?”
“No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Acts.19.2.BSB
Acts 19:4
” Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Acts.19.4.BSB
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Afterward came Paul’s laying the foundation of faith. This showed the New Covenant / (Testament) believers that process of being separated from the previously corrupted system and into Christ’s redemption plan is the conversion process.
Acts 19:8
” Paul Ministers in Ephesus
(Ephesians 1:1–2; Revelation 2:1–7)
Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Acts.19.8.BSB
Acts 19:21
” The Riot in Ephesus
After these things had happened, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, I must see Rome as well.”
Now let’s revisit what Jeshua said:
John 14:26
” But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you. “
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.14.26.BSB
John 16:7
” But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
” http://olivetree.com/b2/John.16.7.BSB
John 16:8
” And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:”
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.16.8.BSB
John 16:13
” However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.
For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.“
http://olivetree.com/b2/John.16.13.BSB
Matthew 12:31-32 KJV
Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012:31-32&version=KJV
What will the advocate speak about, what will he hear? He listens for The Word of God and is the power behind the Living Word. Listen to this passage:
Hebrews 4:12
” The Living Word
(2 Timothy 3:10–17)
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
http://olivetree.com/b2/Heb.4.12.BSB
It’s good practice to listen for the living, sharper word, and most evident, the truth when the Holy Spirit brings the word to your remembrance.
1 Corinthians 12:11
” All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines. “
http://olivetree.com/b2/1Cor.12.11.BSB
Acts 3:18-20 KJV
But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%203:18-20&version=KJV
Hebrews 7:24
“But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.“
http://olivetree.com/b2/Heb.7.24.BSB
Philippians 2:10-12 KJV
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
Let’s be clear, Jesus has always emphasized the work he was doing was of the Father.
Psalm 86:8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. In Context | Full Chapter | Other Translations
In conclusion;
Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
For we [believers will be called to account and] must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be repaid for what has been done in the body, whether good or bad [that is, each will be held responsible for his actions, purposes, goals, motives—the use or misuse of his time, opportunities and abilities].
26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 16:5-6
5 And I also heard the angel of the waters say, Righteous (just) are You in these Your decisions and judgments, You Who are and were, O Holy One!
6 Because they have poured out the blood of Your people (the saints) and the prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. Such is their due [they deserve it]!
