Omniscient Judge

God has declared judgment on the Earth. As God establishes His eternal Kingdom, every person will be judged by their actions. For those that trusted in Christ to be their Savior, they will enter Heaven. For all the rest who reject God, they will be sentenced to hell.

But why is it necessary for this to happen? After all, if God knows what everyone will do, what is the point in waiting for judgment day? Samuel Davies writes, "The design of this judicial inquiry will not be to inform the omniscient Judge-but to convince all worlds of the justice of His proceedings. And this design renders it necessary that all these 'secret things' should be laid open to their sight, that they may see the grounds upon which He passes sentence."

First, we see that God never force someone to sin, even if He knows they will. God declares in Revelation 22:11-12, "Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy . Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done." God judges us based on what we do, not what we might do.

Furthermore, we see that God desires His creation to see Him as just. God never makes a statement about Himself without every providing proof. God declares He is just, and we will witness this when we see Him on His judgment throne.
