As a new Christian in 1975, God showed me the man Phinehas of the Old Testament.
Phinehas was the grandson of Aaron. He was a great man of God because he did judgments that were right in the sight of God. He was not trying to exalt himself nor please himself nor make himself look good in the sight of other men. But rather Phinehas saw evil and dealt with the evil and by his acts God was appeased.
Numbers 25:5-9 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

Today we set things in order by speaking the truth of the Spirit of God to the people.
Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in HIS sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of HIM with whom we have to do.

We speak the word of God and judgment is established by the sword of the Spirit of God.

So often people today want to see themselves as very nice people as they do their works and as they speak their good words to justify themselves in our sight.
Grief comes to us through such things as this.
The truth of God brings love, joy, and peace to the elect of God in a wicked world.
As we follow the Spirit of God, speaking what HE gives us to speak, we do the work of God.
But many do their own works which make them feel like nice persons and cause people to think they are good.
(And the goal of their heart is to make others see them as good as they do their "good" works and as they speak their "good" things. When we are troubled by them, it is the Spirit showing us the truth about their works and words. For the Spirit in us in not deceived by them for the Spirit sees their heart behind their works. Like Phinehas we bring judgment and set truth in the matter at hand, appeasing God by truth, and turning some from their good works to God to do HIS works instead of their own fleshly works.)

Jesus says:
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto ME, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of MY Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to ME in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in THY name? and in THY name have cast out devils? and in THY name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from ME, ye that work iniquity.
