Commentary on Selected Psalms

       Psalm 25:12-13  Psalm 37:27-29  Psalm 50:23

Why would Christ hold a final judgment in the end of the world? If all humans who were not saved by grace abide forever in the bowels of Hell, no judgment would be needed. Christ would just dump them all into the lake of fire. A judgment is a trial. The purpose of a trial is to seek justice tempered with mercy. Christ will hold a judgment in the end of the world of all humans on the earth and under the earth. He will cause them all to repent of their own free will so that He can extend His mercy to them and save their good and living natures that He created and loves, and He will cast their evil and dead natures into the lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). God will use His fiery wrath against evil to melt down all humans before His final judgment in order to separate all of His repentant, living humans from all of their spiritual deaths so that He can save and recreate their living natures to inherit an eternal life on His recreated earth, and He will condemn all of their dead and evil natures to the everlasting flames of the lake of fire. That will be Christ's final judgment. II Peter 3:9-13; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Psalm 75:3 (KJB).

Psalm 25:12-13 clearly teaches that God has a lesser form of salvation than that of grace. God will save those who will "inherit the earth." Christ will cause them all to return to a fear of the Lord. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Their souls "shall dwell at ease" because God will let them know that Christ will come to rescue them. They all will wait on the Lord. Psalm 69:18 teaches that God will bring to repentance, resurrect and recreate the lives of even those who were rebellious against God when they lived on the former earth. Ephesians 4:7-16 does use this verse to apply to humans saved by grace, but Psalm 69:18 clearly teaches in its phrase "gifts for men" that it also applies to the entire, living human race. Colossians 1:20 teaches that Christ suffered on the cross "to reconcile all things unto Himself." Since Christ created all things, then He must save and recreate all of His living humans "on the earth and under the earth." John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

Psalm 37:27-29 clearly teaches that everyone who repents and does some good works will live forever. When humans who are alive in the flesh repent and believe that Christ can save them, they are never saved by their good works but only by God's extension of His grace to them. Titus 3:3-8 (KJB). Humans saved by grace inherit Heaven. I Peter 1:3-4 (KJB). God loves His judgment because in it He can extend His mercy to His "saints" whether they become saved by His grace or saved by Him in the end of the world. God's "saints," who happen to be the whole, repentant human race, He will preserve forever. Psalm 37:28; Psalm 36:6 (KJB). And "the wicked shall be cut off" which means God will annul the spiritual deaths of all of His saints saved by grace, and He will use His fiery wrath against evil to separate the spiritual deaths from all of His righteous saints that He created in His image so that He can save them and cast their spiritual deaths and all their sins and evil into the eternal lake of fire. John 5:24; I Corinthians 3:11-14; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB).

Psalm 50:23 clearly teaches that God will provide a lesser form of salvation to all living humans who repent and live righteous lives. This verse cannot apply to humans saved by grace because they are saved solely by God's grace apart from any good works. Titus 3:3-8 (KJB). Even the most evil human who ever lived has done some good works which proves that that person still retains the good and living image of God that He created him to be. In the end of the world, God will cause all living humans to repent and return to faith in Him so that He can save them all with His lesser form of salvation. Revelation 5:11-14; Philippians 2:9-11; Psalm 69:18; John 5:28-29; John 12:31-32; John 11:25-26; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5; Revelation 22:11-12 (KJB).
