The deepest fear we have, 'the fear beneath all fears,' is the fear of not measuring up, the fear of judgment. It's this fear that creates the stress and depression of everyday life.
Our deepest fear is judgment. Our deepest longing is love. The gospel of grace removes the one and provides the other.
The Gospel announces that Jesus came to acquit the guilty. He came to judge and be judged in our place. Christ came to satisfy the deep judgment against us once and for all so that we could be free from the judgement of God, others, and ourselves.
The passive righteousness of faith frees me from passing final judgment on myself.
