Judgment
Swift Justice is a Purpose of Government
Ecclesiastes 8:11. The Bible provides a lot of wisdom in regard to the purpose of Government. This not only includes broad, guiding principles such as the Ten commandments, but also on small matters such as how Governments should manage judicial courts. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil”. Many Governments have laws about swift justice, but many Governments do not practice swift justice.
There is No Excuse for Judging Others, That Is God's Job
Romans 2:1. Even though it is human nature to judge people that is no excuse to do it. God is very clear about us judging people – don't do it. We are to give people the truth, God's Word. We are not to use God's Word (the Truth) to be judge and jury over people. It does not matter how someone hurts you or is disgusting or just plain evil. These are no excuses to judge other people. God is the ultimate judge. If you judge people, God will judge you because you attempting to upsurge God's authority.
Good Excuses For Denying God – God is Not Convenient
Acts 24:25. Many of us have good excuses for not fulfilling God's purpose in our lives. For us that our ambitious or prosperous the best excuse is that doing God's purpose in our lives is not convenient. This is what happened when Felix, the Roman Governor, met with the Apostle Paul and received God's Word. Felix listened to Paul's words concerning righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come, but Felix did not act on God's Word.
God's Divine Nature Is Righteous
Psalms 33:5. God is the source of all good and truth in the world. He is right in all things. He is righteous. All righteousness comes from him. The Bible is His message and it tells us of God's righteousness. Because of God's divine nature, He can only be righteous. Because of His righteous nature, He can only love righteousness. Because of God's divine nature, He can only do things in truth and righteousness (Psalms 33:4-5, "For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
The Nature vs Nurture Debate - Both Sides Seek Justification For Sin
Romans 1:32. The nature vs nurture debate is usually all about justifying someone’s bad behavior (sin). This type of argument operates on a bad premise that we are not accountable to God for our bad behavior. The nature position declares that a person was just born bad. This is not true because God did not make us to be bad - to sin and be disobedient to Him. The nurture position is that a person became bad because of his environment.
We Have Unbelief In God If We Continue In Sin
John 16:8. If we sin, we have no belief in God's word. We have unbelief in God if we do not believe that Jesus died for our sins and gave us power over sin. We have unbelief if we do not believe that God is a righteous God that will punish sin. Sin is evidence to God that you do not know Him or believe in Him. He will convict us of our sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment (John 16:8, “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:).
Social Conscience Is Driven By Public Acts
John 8:9. A social conscience is a set of customs and norms that are acceptable to a given society. Society's conscience changes over time and is usually driven by public acts and laws.
For example, during a U.S. television awards show Britney Spears and Madonna kissed each other on stage. This event had an immediate effect on the social conscience of the country. After this public event, the social conscience changed where it was now acceptable for two women to kiss in public.

Define Conscience As A Law Written In Your Heart
Romans 2:15. Conscience is a group of laws in your heart. Mankind has demonstrated that they know God's principles.

Our conscience bears witness to the laws that are written in our heart by God our Creator.
