Are We, the Saints, Able to Judge?

Answer: Thank you for that excellent question. There’s an important point to understand here. On the day we sit with the Lord to judge, we will be like Him in authority but the final judgment will be made by Jesus Christ alone. We will act more like advocates or attorneys.

For example, imagine someone who lived a sinful life, committing adultery, claims to have repented. The Lord might ask why they engaged in such behavior. Perhaps they’ll say, “It was because our generation had smartphones with internet, making it hard to resist temptation.” Then you let’s say Michael standing beside the Lord, might be asked how you overcame such temptation in the internet age. You’d explain your reasons, and those reasons you give as a saint will be what judges that sinner.

Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 12:41-42:

“The people of Nineveh will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now someone greater than Jonah is here.
The Queen of the South will also stand with this generation at the judgment and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon’s wisdom, and now someone greater than Solomon is here.”

Just as the Queen of Sheba will judge that generation, so will we judge this one.

God bless you.
