One Lawgiver and JudgeInitial Words
Our attitude toward law affects howwe relate to others because lawsgovern how we relate to each other.
Those whose attitude is unbendingmay also have difficulty in their inter-
personal relationships. Our view ofthe law depends on the degree ofrespect we have for the wisdom of
the lawgivers and their lawsfairness.

One Lawgiver and Judge1. Judging One Another
James 4:11, 12 NKJVDonot speak evil of one another....He who speaks evil...and judges his
brother, speaks evil of the law andjudges the law. But if you judge the
law, you are not a doer of the law buta judge. There is one Lawgiver, who is
able to save and to destroy.
Who are you to judge another?

1. Judging One AnotherJudgment or Discernment?
By placing ourselves on thejudgment seat, we ignore our ownweaknesses (see Matt. 7:13) and
focus instead on anothers wrong-doing, as if we were somehow
outside of or above the law.Such a focus also fails to love ourneighbor as ourselves (Lev. 19:18).
Thus, we are not keeping the law.

1. Judging One AnotherJudgment or Discernment?
While we should not be judging others,we must have spiritual discernment.We are to compare what people teach
and preach with the Gods Word.We should encourage church
members to settle their differencesamong themselves rather than in
courts, where the judges may or may
not be guided by Gods Word.

1. Judging One AnotherThe Lawgiver is Judge
Only someone who knows the lawvery well is qualified to judge
whether or not it has been broken.
As the One who gave these laws,Jesus was and is uniquely qualified
to explain what they mean and toassess whether or not they have
been transgressed.

1. Judging One AnotherThe Lawgiver is Judge
So when He comes again, His rewardis with Him to give to all according to
their works (Rev. 22:12).
Furthermore, by taking on humannature, living a sinless life, dying in
our place, and being raisedvictorious over sin and death, Jesus
is able to save us from sin.

One Lawgiver and Judge2. Judging Independently
James 4:13, 14 NKJVCome, you who say, Today or
tomorrow we will go to such and
such a city, spend a year there, buyand sell, and make a profit; whereas
you do not know what will happentomorrow. For what is you life?
It is even a vapor that appears for a
little time an then vanishes away.

It may seem very reasonable to plana year in advance or even more.
On the other hand, we also believe
that Jesus is coming soon and that,someday, all of our earthly
possessions will be consumed byflames (see 2 Pet. 3:1012).
These two approaches to life are not
necessarily in conflict.

2. Judging IndependentlyPlanning Ahead
Plan as if Christ were not coming foryears but live each day as if Christwere coming tomorrow.
Many would consider that the richman who decided to build bigger
barns was prosperous because Godwas blessing him. But his overarchingconcern was to lay up treasure for
himself.

2. Judging IndependentlyLife is a Mist
Life is uncertain. James 4:14 uses avery rare Greek word (atmis),translated as vaporor mist.It
emphasizes the transitory nature oflife.
Theres always the imminence ofdeath. We are all just a heartbeat
away from it.
Plus, not only is life so short but, in and

One Lawgiver and Judge3. Judging Dependently
James 4:15-17 NKJVInstead you ought to say, If the
Lord wills, we shall live and do this
or that. But now you boast in yourarrogance. All such boasting is evil.
Therefore, to him who knows to dogood and does not do it, to him it
is sin.

3. Judging DependentlyDeo Volente
Rather than making our plans toodefinite, Instead you ought to say,
If the Lord wills, we shall live and do
this or that(James 4:15, NKJV).
This means more than simply
appending d.v.(Deo volente, Latinfor God willing) to the end of asentence about our future plans.

3. Judging DependentlyKnowing and Doing What Is Good
The Bible defines sin in two ways:(1) doing wrong; (2) not doing right.The first definition is given by John:
sin is the transgression of the law(1 John 3:4).
The second definition is given inJames 4:17: Therefore to him that
knoweth to do good, and doeth it not,
to him it is sin.

Last WordThoughts From the Mount of Blessing 126
He who is guilty of wrong is the firstto suspect wrong. By condemninganother he is trying to conceal or
excuse the evil of his own heart....[N]o sooner had the first pair sinnedthan they began to accuse each other;
and this is what human nature willinevitably do when uncontrolled by
the grace of Christ
