Who is Jehovah Shaphat?

Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as Jehovah Shaphat—The LORD, our Judge. His judgments are never corrupt, biased, or unjust. He judges with perfect righteousness, truth, mercy, and holiness. In a world where opinions constantly change and people are quick to condemn, God's judgment remains eternal and perfectly just.

In this powerful message, we journey from the Old Testament to the New Testament to discover that Jesus Christ has been given all authority to judge the living and the dead. More importantly, we learn how believers are called to respond—not by living in fear, but in humility, repentance, and obedience.

This sermon explores what it means to stand before the judgment seat of Christ, why every person will give an account of their life, and how the gospel transforms us from people who judge others harshly into people who restore others with grace. As followers of Jesus, we are called to remove the log from our own eye before addressing the speck in another's, remembering that the same mercy we have received should flow through our lives.

If you've ever wrestled with questions about God's justice, eternal judgment, accountability, or what it means to live a life that honors Christ, this message will encourage, challenge, and strengthen your faith.
