This post presents the song We Will Judge Angels, inspired by Paul’s striking words in 1 Corinthians 6:3. The song reflects on the future responsibility of God’s people and the wisdom, maturity and discernment believers are called to practise in this present life.
Some passages of Scripture cause us to pause because they reveal something far greater than we may have previously considered. One such passage is found in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, where he reminds believers that they will one day participate in judgment.
The song We Will Judge Angels: Citizens of Heaven Stand Prepared draws attention to this remarkable biblical statement. Yet Paul did not reveal it simply to create speculation about the future. He connected this heavenly responsibility with the wisdom believers require when handling the ordinary matters of life.
“Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?”— 1 Corinthians 6:3 (NKJV)

🎵 We Will Judge Angels: Citizens of Heaven Stand Prepared
Behind the Song
In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul addresses disputes occurring among believers. Rather than resolving their differences with spiritual wisdom, members of the Corinthian church were bringing their disagreements before secular courts.
Paul responds by drawing their attention to their future calling. If the saints will participate in matters of such great consequence, including the judgment of the world and angels, then believers should also be developing the wisdom needed to address the smaller matters of the present life.
The song transforms this contrast into a musical reflection: earthly matters may feel immediate, but the identity and calling of God’s people reach far beyond the present moment.
Paul’s words about judging angels are not only a revelation about the future. They are also a call to present-day spiritual maturity.
The phrase “How much more” brings the heavenly truth back into everyday life. If believers are being prepared for future responsibility, then discernment, wisdom, peace and accountability matter now.
A Future Calling and a Present Responsibility
Scripture does not explain every detail of how the saints will judge angels. The central lesson in Paul’s argument, however, is clear: the future identity of believers should influence how they live and respond today.
Jude 6 also speaks of angels who abandoned their proper domain and are being reserved for judgment. Daniel 7:22 describes judgment being made in favour of the saints of the Most High and the saints possessing the kingdom. Together, these passages provide a wider biblical setting for reflecting on authority, judgment and the future kingdom of God.
If God is preparing His people for responsibilities beyond this present life, how might that knowledge change the way we approach conflict, discernment and everyday decisions now?
