Title: God's Judgment

Bible: Genesis 6:1-8 Title: God's Judgment
To travel by plane, you need to have a ticket reservation and also have a passport. But most importantly, you have to go through airport security. If you have items in your body or bag that cannot be cleared on an airplane or abroad, you will not be able to board. Heaven is where you enter through faith in Jesus. However, to enter the gates of heaven, you must be able to pass through the search bar called judgment.
In the text, the people in Noah's day went through God's search bar ahead of the judgment of the flood, and there was no one to go into the ark and save them. Water symbolizes judgment. Even if they passed through the flood judgment waters, no one could survive without dying. Noah was able to withstand the water judgment through the ark.
Is my faith a faith that can overcome judgment? Faith or Repentance? Regret or baptism in union with Jesus Christ? Is it a religious ceremony or an anointing of the Holy Spirit? Is it a ceremony of laying hands? Is it a born-again life with the DNA of the father? Is it an unfertilized egg-like life? All six must be repentance, baptism, faith, laying on of hands, and resurrection faith to overcome judgment.
1. Who judges when and why?
Enoch's walk with God, pleasing him, ended his life when he was taken up into heaven. However, the effect of Enoch's ascension incident on the world was weak. “When men began to multiply on the earth, daughters were born of them, and the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took wives from whomever they pleased” (6:1, 2).
'When the LORD saw that the iniquity of man was pervasive in the world, and that every plan of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time" (6:5), the condition of man before God was always like this: "It is only evil." Judgment begins when sorrow appears in the heart: the testimony and lamentation of the angels in Sodom and Gomorrah in the days of Noah, the judgment on the Tower of Babel, the judgment on Jerusalem, and the judgment of the end times.
2. What is God's judgment?
In verse 3, the judgment begins when the Spirit of God is not with man.
God is the builder. Jesus is the carpenter's son. An architect builds a temporary house with trees called formwork, pours concrete into it, and when it hardens, the formwork is demolished and thrown away. Ashiba (footboard) is installed and the interior and exterior are beautifully decorated. When the construction is complete, the formwork and ashiba are thrown away without mercy. The world is like a mold used to build the kingdom of heaven (God's kingdom) according to God's blueprint. When the kingdom of heaven is completed, it is called judgment to throw away everything in the world. For an individual, the life of the body must be saved within the given time to overcome judgment and be saved when the body enters the grave.
Everything in the world is used as a tool to build the kingdom of God. When God's desired purpose is achieved, all creation is burned and disposed of. That is God's judgment.
3. Judgment is over.
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the judgment received on our behalf. For those who believe in Jesus Christ, the word judgment is hope. You are to long for holy conduct, godliness, and the day of the Lord. Every morning when I open my eyes, come Lord Jesus. While praying, we should not be afraid of judgment. We must live in the spirit of the resurrection, waiting for joy. If you understand the meaning of judgment properly, Amen, come Lord Jesus. As I wait, I get morbid because of Jesus. The disciples who believe in Jesus have already passed from death to life.
