The Father has put judgment into the hands of the Son (John 5), and God the Father has appointed a day on which the Risen Son will judge all men (Acts 17:31). The judge of all will be a Man, as Paul says in Acts 17.
According to the PCA FV Study Committee, the “so-called final verdict of justification” based only on “the perfect obedience and satisfaction of Christ received through faith alone.”
Doesn’t that mean that Jesus is passing judgment on His own obedience? And isn’t that slightly odd? Doesn’t Jesus seek His Father’s approval rather than His own?
