Description

The role of a judge in the United States judicial system is to uphold the law and render a verdict as to the guilt or innocence of a person. When people think about Jesus' role in the investigative judgment, the role of a U.S. judge may pop into their mind. But a biblical judge does far more than render a decision. He also teaches, rules, and delivers. It is those very roles that make Christ's work in the investigative judgment endearing and necessary in order to complete the plan of salvation.

David said in Psalm 7:8, “Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity within me.” Is that the way you feel about the judgment, or do you want the Lord to judge someone else? Judge Me Please shows why the saints want to be judged. You too will want to be judged when you understand what is meant by biblical perfection, sinlessness, and righteousness as David used the term.

Judge Me Please draws a distinction between Christ's nature and ours as it explains why we cannot be as sinless as He, nor are we expected to be. It also explains what it means for His people to have the character of Christ, and how the image of Christ is to be formed in His people before He comes again, yet they will not be sinless.

Through a straightforward presentation of Bible truths and Spirit of Prophecy quotes, you will gain a broader understanding of the atonement, the investigative judgment, and by what right God can take the kingdom from the little horn and give it to the saints. After reading this book, like David, you will say, “Judge me please!”

    This is not only a "must read" but a "must study" again

    Glenn Aufderhar on 4th Apr 2012

    Its fresh view of the judgment increases confidence and joy in the Christian walk without detracting from views Adventist pioneers first mined from Scripture. In fact rather than diminishing appreciation for the Scripture, the Spirit Of Prophecy or the Seventh-day Adventist doctrine this book's scholarship helps the reader see the beauty of those gifts of God. In my opinion this book is a must read. Strunk makes three powerful points, any one of which is priceless in helping Adventists move on toward Christian Maturity: A) The investigative phase of the judgment is far more than a grand jury exploring facts. The thoughtful reader will see the relevance of the sanctuary in his own home church. B) Prophetic parallels authenticate both Scripture and the Spirit of Prophecy. C) The chapters, "The Character of Christ" and "When You Don't Feel Righteous" are like springs of living water in a parched desert. This is not only a "must read" but a "must study" again. Glenn Aufderhar Pastor, Evangelist, Conference President in Washington and Michigan Conferences, President Adventist Media Center, Assistant to the NAD President for Special Projects--initiated and managed Net Events and ACN (now Hope Channel) before retirement.

    His clarity is refreshing

    Elder Varner J. Leggitt Ph.D. on 4th Apr 2012

    My appreciation to Gary Strunk for writing this unique approach to the Investigative Judgment. His clarity is refreshing. The Judgment certainly is good news! We must remember that judgment is given in favor of the saints. In my opinion this book agrees with Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. Elder Varner J.
