“Judge not, and you shall not be judged…”
Posted on August 1, 2019by The Daily Evidence
The world often takes this verse out of context and uses it to accuse Christians of being “judgmental” when they speak of sin. In the context of this verse Jesus is telling His disciples not to judge one another, something the Bible condemns (Rom. 14:10; James 4:11). In Luke 6:41,42 He speaks of seeing a speck in a brother’s eye. He also tells us that when we judge, we should use “righteous judgment” (John 7:24). If someone steals, lies, commits adultery, etc., the Christian can make a (righteous) moral judgment and say that the actions were morally wrong, and that these sins will have eternal consequences.

Thank you my friend SGT James Murphy as most of us are aware. The command to judge not is focused on stating or believing that some people are destined for eternal damnation. Only God knows which of us are eternal destined for salvation or damnation.

It is a constant temptation to judge others, particularly if we think that we are "better" than them, but a recent conversation with a friend, who I was tempted to judge, reminded me that I am not one iota better than them, because I have done the same thing several times. Looking back at my dad's infidelity, I was tempted to think that I am a "cut-above" him, when the reality is that I am a chip off the old block. That doesn't mean that any of what we have done is right, but it God's job to keep those records.

This is one area I have needed much work on over my lifetime. While I am better than I once was, there is room for improvement. I try to remember that my truth may not be God's truth and not confused about the 2. Fortunately, I do forgive others with the expectation that I too will be
