Don’t you know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, [why] are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Don’t you know that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Corinthians 6:2-3
The LORD Jesus teaches His very own judgment to us. We should be learning His righteous judgment. That is, we should be increasingly seeing things the way that He does, having the same values as Him, in the things that pertain to this life.
Not judgmental, but sound judgment.
There is less sound judgment in professing Christians today than there was a generation ago. This is due to a FLOOD of false teaching which has discouraged Christians from intelligently testing and judging all things by Scripture alone, for fear of being judgmental.
What a staggering statement: Don’t you know that the saints shall judge the world?
How could worldly Christians judge the world?
For example, how could a prosperity preacher judge the world for it’s covetousness and love of money? Or an immoral Christian judge the world for its immorality? A corrupt Christian judge the world for its corruption? How could such judge angels?

Well, he who points a finger at someone else has forgotten that the remaining four are pointing back at home.
Like what the Lord said, how can the ‘world’(the churchy, worldly Christian) judge the world he’s part of? I didn’t want to use ‘Can Satan cast out Satan’ thing.

Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:
(These are disciples of Jesus appointed by Him to judge the nations)
and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Daniel 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
