God is really among you

The weight of the Lords words sent in advance should bring a man to his knee's within the present freedom as His mercy was shown.

If not then surely the weight of His majestic presence will upon His return.

What does it mean when read, Do not judge or you will be judged"?

Is that to say everything is acceptable to God that we do because we don't judge others? No, surely not!

Leave room for Him to judge.



Matt 7:1-2
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. NIV

Acts 4:19
But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God
NIV

Have we not already judged between the sinful nature and the Lord when we chose behavior considered as sinful?


Once again that would depend upon the Judge that does consider anything we do as sinful.


The benefit of words sent in advance of the Lords return were not intended for those that refuse to believe. They were intended for those which chose to believe.

If there be any real strength found in a freedom that's enjoyed, shouldn't it be understood as the opportunity to find the mercy being shown in that same freedom?

Every answer would depend upon believing whether or not your soul gets to enjoy an existance beyond this world once placed in a grave.

Matt 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul . Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.NIV

Choosing to believe not only the words said to be from Him, but to believe and receive those words because of the One which authored and gave those words to you as the form of His Son Jesus the Christ (Savior made available to the world).


 John 1:11-14
He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
NIV

Believed so much that it becomes obvious to YOU, that is was His words (as counsel) which gave the strength to chose life in Him (which your soul will enjoy forever).

James 2:12-13
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgement without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!
NIV

 James 5:9
Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged . The Judge is standing at the door!
NIV

Is this to say that you have no say in your own life? You get to decide! What lead you to wherever you are now?

Is this to suggest that your decisions made have no bearing upon your future?

What does the word say to you personally in this next passage?

Luke 6:37
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged . Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
NIV

1 Cor 14:24-25
But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"
NIV

1 Peter 4:5-8
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.  Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
NIV
