...let us come near together to judgment." Sometimes people can think judgments are an infringement on one's liberty; but, when we think of God and His love for us, we can understand His judgments are for our good. God, who has created all things, and knows all things, has established judgments and statues. He has already judged all things rightly. The statues He decrees are righteous. As a parent, I can tell my child my statue. I can say, "Do not play in the road." They hear my statue; but, why did I make the statue? I made the statue because I judged it harmful, or even deadly, for them to play in the road. If they keep my statue, they keep my judgment, they keep themselves from death. If I as a parent have judged correctly, and my children keep my statues, therefore, keeping my judgments, they should abide in life. As they mature, they should take the same judgments unto themselves as their own judgments. They esteem my judgments as being right. They also keep the same statues for they see them as being right.

God being perfect in all judgments has set before us His statues. He wants us to come to His judgments and keep them. As a nation, and as individuals, how well do we know God's judgments and how well do we keep His judgments. When we keep God's judgments, it is then we acknowledge Him as God.
