All of us fear judgment.  No one likes to go to traffic court for a violation.  Certainly we don't crave hearing our bosses' evaluation of our performance.  And when we ponder the fact that God looks down upon us and judges us, it is quite a scary thought.  Yet with deeper discernment, we will discover that God's judgment only comes out of love.  If you are walking (halachic) in His Love & Obedience, then Judgment is His Deliverance–Yeshua.  Judgment is Deliverance in Yeshua.
