A Hymn of God's Words The Effect God's Judgment Can Achieve
- The Effect
- God's Judgment Can Achieve
- I
- God's work
- in passing judgment is not,
- in two or three words,
- to make clear man's whole nature,
- but slowly to reveal, deal with,
- prune him over time.
- Such forms of treatment
- can't be changed for common words,
- only for truth,
- which lies beyond man's compass.
- Only such work is deemed judgment;
- only such judgment
- can make man obey God
- in heart and mouth, within, without,
- and truly come to know Him.
- II
- The work of judgment brings man
- to know the very face of God,
- and the truth of his rebellion.
- It teaches him the purpose
- and intent behind God's work
- and of mysteries
- man doesn't understand.
- It helps him to know his corruption
- and see the ugliness of his own.
- Only such work is deemed judgment;
- only such judgment
- can make man obey God
- in heart and mouth, within, without,
- and truly come to know Him.
- III
- These effects of the work of God
- come about
- through the work of judgment.
- For in substance,
- it's just to open up the truth,
- the way, and life of God
- to all those that believe in Him.
- This is what
- God works in His judgment.
- Only such work is deemed judgment;
- only such judgment
- can make man obey God
- in heart and mouth, within, without,
- and truly come to know Him.
- from "Christ Does the Work of Judgment With the Truth" in The Word Appears in the Flesh
