3. QUESTION: DO I KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS MY LAWGIVER ?
The answer is yes if you embrace the beatitudes Jesus enumerates in Matthew 5-7
of being poor in spirit, mourning, hungering and thirsting after righteousness,
merciful to others, pure in heart, a peacemaker in times of trouble. The answer is
yes if you do not hate your enemies, you do not commit adultery in your heart,
if your yes remains yes and your no remains no. The answer is yes if you turn the
other cheek, even if they sue you. The answer is yes if you love your enemies,
bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, pray for those who
persecute you. The answer is yes if you seek first the Kingdom of God, lay up
treasures in heaven, refuse to serve two masters, avoid judging others from a
position of hypocrisy, do not bear false witness, do not take oaths and obey the
golden rule of treating others exactly as you desire to be treated. All these things
are the laws of the Kingdom of God (Matt. 5,6,7)
4. QUESTION: DO I KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS MY JUDGE ?
The answer is not yet if you are at this very moment reading this page.
Only those who have died in Christ can answer in the affirmative. This is because
the scripture states when the judgment of the believer actually takes place:

“AND AS IT IS APPOINTED FOR MEN TO DIE ONCE,
BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT…”
Heb 9:27-28

According to the apostle Paul’s writings, we can see that he
actively cultivated his future day in court with
the Lord Jesus Christ, THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE:

“THEREFORE WE MAKE IT OUR AIM,
WHETHER PRESENT OR ABSENT, TO BE WELL PLEASING TO HIM.
FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE
THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST,
THAT EACH ONE MAY RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN THE BODY,
ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE,
WHETHER GOOD OR BAD.”
2 Cor 5:9-11

“…THERE WILL BE A RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, BOTH OF THE JUST AND THE UNJUST.
THIS BEING SO, I MYSELF ALWAYS STRIVE TO HAVE

A CONSCIENCE WITHOUT OFFENSE TOWARD GOD AND MEN.”
Acts 24:15-16

“FOR I AM ALREADY BEING POURED OUT AS A DRINK OFFERING,
AND THE TIME OF MY DEPARTURE IS AT HAND.

I HAVE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, I HAVE FINISHED THE RACE,
I HAVE KEPT THE FAITH.

FINALLY, THERE IS LAID UP FOR ME
THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,

WHICH
THE LORD, THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE,

WILL GIVE TO ME ON THAT DAY,
AND NOT TO ME ONLY BUT ALSO TO
ALL WHO HAVE LOVED HIS APPEARING.”

2 Tim 4:6-8
