Judging another's eternal life condemns us


Rom 2:1  Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

We cannot JUDGE others! Yet we do so and often.

When we judge others we truly do condemn ourselves.  We are all guilty. Maybe our sin isn't the same as another's, but it's sin just the same.  It's easy for us to see the sins of others, isn't it? Much harder for us to take a good look at ourselves and recognize the sin, the evil that resides in us and makes its home in who we are.  We need the chastisement of the Holy Spirit, through the Father. We need our sins lay bear, not hidden, not glossed over. We should hate our sins, and seek forgiveness for them.  Instead we look at the sins of others and yes, we may ask God to forgive them but we need to forgive them as well and NOT condemn them. We must recognize the sins we have of our own are more than enough to judge- judging ourselves.

Mat 7:1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Mat 7:2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Mat 7:3  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:4  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Mat 7:5  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

TRUTH.

We must cast the BEAM out of our own eye!  Until the beams are gone from our eyes we will never be able to help anyone. 

By the grace of God may we KNOW and KEEP HIS TRUTH!

All in HIS LOVE!
