good sense or good judgment to hold fast to the eternally good and utterly refuse the evil.

The Day of Judgment is revealed to be a continuous day, now ruling our lives and casting out error.

“Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” --- John 12 :31.

“Because the prince of this world is judged.” --- John16:11.

It is the presence of God’s good judgment in the heart of the devotee. The wheat is separated from the tares, the truth from the error, the sheep from the goats, the spiritual traits from the carnal, the positive from the negative, each being put in its true place.

The day of judgment is a welcome day, for by good judgment comes knowledge of this mixed world of appearances in which good and evil seem so commingled, the divine and the human so interwoven, truth and error so confused as to justly merit the appellation, an “adulterous [or adulterated] generation” (Mark 8 :38). All uncertainty vanishes before this divine ability to distinguish the real from the unreal, the genuine from the counterfeit.

It is promised that the Christ will work with us until this power of judgment is established in the heart of each, for when that is accomplished, then righteousness shall reign without end.

“He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth.” “For when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.” “And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.”
--- Is. 42:4; 26:9; 32:17.
