Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
We shall, without a doubt, give an account to “Him that is ready.”
It is the Lord. He is ready to judge.
Ready in the sense of able
His hand is not shortened. He is completely capable of judging both the quick and the dead, the saved and the unsaved.
Ready in the sense of prepared
There is nothing left to do. He has planned it and prophesied it. He has only to perform it.
Ready in the sense of willing
The judgment of the saved is called “the judgment seat of Christ.”
It is a judgment of deeds done in the body and not of sins. They have already been judged and executed on the cross of Jesus Christ.
The judgment of the lost is called “the Great White Throne judgment.”
Only those who have been made white in the blood of the Lamb will escape it. Even death and hell will be resurrected to face it.
It is for this cause the gospel is preached to the dead[1] so that they might have the opportunity to repent, turn to God, and place saving faith in Him before it is eternally too late.
[1] Those lost and without Christ. The Bible says that they are dead in trespasses and sins.
