Plan of Salvation Involves a Judgment

"On the subject of the judgment, C. P. Bollman comments as follows:
“In the investigative judgment ‘God [the Father] is Judge Himself,’ as declared in Psalm 50:6 (And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself. ).

In the plan of salvation the Son undertook ‘to present faultless before the presence of His [the Father’s] glory with exceeding joy’ (Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,... Jude 1:24) a sufficient number of the children of Adam to fill this earth according to the original plan of God.
Therefore, as the closing act of His priesthood, Christ presents His work to the Father for His approval.
The book of life is opened, and each name passes in review before the Father, and those who have proved true, and are presented by the great Advocate, are accepted by the Father as fit subjects of the eternal kingdom."
