Many Scriptures testify about God being Judge; in the same we find the Lord being referred to as Judge. Psalms 50: 6 says, “… for God is judge himself”, Psalms 58: 11, “… He is a God that judgeth in the earth.’” The prophet Isaiah wrote in chapter 33: 22, “For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.” The same One who gave the law will judge according to His law. In the New Testament James expresses it like this, “There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy.” (Chapter 4: 12). The prophet Jeremiah also speaks of the Lord as judge: “O Lord of hosts, who judgest righteously …” (Chapter 11: 20). At the end of his life, Paul could say, “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day.” (II Timothy 4: 8). In John 5: 22 it says, “For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.”

In Acts 10, while Peter was preaching in the house of Cornelius, he made the statement that Jesus Christ is the Judge of the living and the dead. Compare this with Hebrew 12: 23, where God is being referred to as the Judge, “… and to God, the Judge of all …” Again one could ask, who will then be the Judge. Certainly there will only be one judge, as there was only one lawgiver. Whether we read about God, about the Lord, about the Father or the Son, it makes no difference. Every time the same One is meant. We must comprehend for ever that we are dealing with only one God, whom we see in various manifestations.
