How to teach His judgments to others?
In what ways can we teach others about "the judgments He has pronounced"?

Remembering His Decrees

“Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced.” – Psalm 105:5


Why Teach His Judgments?

• They reveal God’s righteous character (Psalm 19:9).

• They warn against sin and its consequences (Romans 6:23).

• They point people to their need for Christ’s salvation (Galatians 3:24).

• They uphold justice and truth in a confused world (Isaiah 5:20).

• They produce gratitude and worship when we see mercy alongside justice (Psalm 103:10).


Rooted in Scripture

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 – “These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children…”

2 Timothy 3:16-17 – All Scripture equips us “for every good work.”

Matthew 28:20 – We are to be “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”

Psalm 119:130 – “The unfolding of Your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.”


Practical Ways to Teach His Judgments

Family & Household

• Bedtime Bible reading: include passages that highlight God’s judgments (e.g., Genesis 6–9, Exodus 12).

• Mealtime talk: briefly connect current events to biblical standards of right and wrong (Deuteronomy 11:18-21).

• Memorization challenges: learn short verses that summarize judgment and mercy (Romans 6:23; John 3:18).

Church & Small Groups

• Expositional teaching that does not skip “difficult” texts (Acts 20:27).

• Testimony nights: share stories of God’s discipline and restoration (Hebrews 12:5-11).

• Thematic studies: trace God’s judgments from Genesis to Revelation to show consistency.

One-on-One Discipleship

• Walk through a gospel like Luke and note every instance Jesus warns of judgment (Luke 12:4-5).

• Use catechisms or Q&A booklets that clearly define sin, law, and penalty (Romans 3:23).

• Encourage journaling: write out personal reflections on passages about judgment and grace.

Community Engagement

• Host public Scripture readings (1 Timothy 4:13) that include prophetic texts (e.g., Amos, Revelation 20).

• Share short, clear gospel tracts that explain sin, justice, and the cross.

• Offer Bible-based counseling that frames consequences of choices within God’s moral order.

Media & Creative Arts

• Produce short videos or podcasts explaining historic acts of judgment (e.g., the flood) and their relevance today.

• Write songs that celebrate God’s holiness and justice (Psalm 96:10-13).

• Use visual timelines in classrooms to connect divine judgments with redemptive milestones.

Living Example

• Model repentance when you fail (1 John 1:9). People learn the seriousness of sin by watching genuine contrition.

• Maintain integrity in business, showing you believe God judges dishonesty (Proverbs 11:1).

• Offer forgiveness quickly, demonstrating confidence that ultimate justice rests with God (Romans 12:19).


Keeping the Balance

While teaching His judgments, always pair them with His mercy:

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8

Judgment shows the sickness; the gospel shows the cure. Present both faithfully so listeners grasp the full counsel of God.
