Greek word · Strong's G2920

κρίσις

krísis · noun · “judgment”

In a sentence

Krisis means judgment or decision — the verdict God will render at the end. The cross has already revealed his mercy; the final krisis will reveal his perfect justice.

Krisis is judgment — a decision, often a verdict. The New Testament uses it for the day of judgment, when God’s perfect justice will be openly displayed and every life weighed.

For those in Christ this is not a terror but the day every wrong is set right. “There is therefore now no condemnation,” because the judgment due us fell on Jesus. The krisis ends our hope’s waiting; it doesn’t shake it.
