The term "judicially" pertains to matters related to judgment, justice, and the legal proceedings as outlined in the Bible. It encompasses the principles and practices of administering justice according to divine law, as well as the human implementation of these principles in societal governance.

Biblical Foundation of Judicial Principles

The concept of justice is deeply rooted in the character of God, who is described as the ultimate judge. In Deuteronomy 32:4, God is portrayed as just: "The Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He." This establishes the divine standard for justice that human judicial systems are to emulate.

Judicial Systems in the Old Testament

The Old Testament provides a framework for judicial proceedings among the Israelites. The Mosaic Law, given to Moses on Mount Sinai, includes detailed instructions for maintaining justice within the community. Exodus 18:21-22 describes the appointment of judges: "But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. Have them serve as judges for the people at all times."

The role of judges was to interpret and apply the law impartially, ensuring that justice was served. Deuteronomy 16:18-20 further emphasizes the importance of justice: "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the LORD your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent."

Judicial Themes in the New Testament

In the New Testament, the concept of justice is expanded through the teachings of Jesus Christ and the apostles. Jesus Himself speaks of justice in the context of mercy and faithfulness, as seen in Matthew 23:23: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin, but you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former."

The apostle Paul also addresses judicial matters, particularly in the context of disputes among believers. In 1 Corinthians 6:1-6, Paul admonishes the Corinthian church for taking their disputes before secular courts rather than resolving them within the church community, highlighting the importance of righteous judgment among believers.

Divine Judgment

Ultimately, the Bible teaches that God is the supreme judge who will execute final judgment. Hebrews 9:27 states, "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment." This underscores the belief that all human judicial systems are accountable to God's perfect justice.

Conclusion

The biblical perspective on judicial matters emphasizes the importance of justice, fairness, and integrity. It calls for human judicial systems to reflect God's character and uphold His standards, while also recognizing the ultimate authority of God as the final judge.(adv.)
