1211  The Work of Judgment Reveals God’s Righteous Disposition

I

God became flesh in the most backward and filthy place of all, and it’s only in this way that God is able to clearly show the entirety of His holy and righteous disposition. And through what is His righteous disposition shown? It is shown when He judges the sins of man when He judges Satan, when He abhors sin, and when He despises the enemies that oppose and rebel against Him. If there is no trace of a corrupt disposition in you, then God will not judge you, nor will He show you His righteous disposition. Since you have a corrupt disposition, God will not let you off, and it’s through this that His holiness is shown. It’s because of your filth and corruption that you are judged and that God unleashes His wrath upon you.

II

Only the holy God Himself is able to judge the whole of filthy mankind. How could man judge man’s sins? How could man see the sins of man, and how could man be qualified to condemn these sins? If God were not qualified to judge the sins of man, then how could He be the righteous God Himself? It’s because people reveal corrupt dispositions that God speaks in order to judge them, and only then can they see that He’s a holy God. As He judges and chastises man for his sins, all the while exposing man’s sins, no person or thing can escape this judgment; all that is filthy is judged by Him, and it’s only thus that He’s revealed to be righteous. If it were otherwise, how could it be said that you are foils in both name and fact?
