Why do you judge others?

We will ALL stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Every one of us will give account of ourselves to God.

Do you think you are exempt because you choose not to believe in God? You aren't.  Do you think you'll escape standing before the judgment seat because you have other gods you worship? You won't. Whatever you believe, whatever you worship, whatever your life is… you WILL stand before the judgment seat of Christ. You don't have to believe what I'm saying, but it's the truth.

There are a lot of people, the majority in fact, who do not believe in God's truth as it is found in Jesus Christ our Lord.

There is despair of finding any faith on earth when Christ returns-

Luk_18:8… Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Yet people are quick to point out that there are MILLIONS who follow Christianity. Millions and millions, yet here we have the LORD Himself saying….'shall he find faith on the earth?'

Christ also said this--

Mat 7:22  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? 

Mat 7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 

So, I say again, there are millions and millions of Christians in the world- however, the majority of those Christians are not Christ followers in truth. 

Getting back to the judgment-- not everyone believes there will be a judgment but that belief won't stop it from taking place. You can go before the Lord, and when you are placed before the judgment seat of Christ you will have no doubt to its reality. You will then give an account to God, again there will be no exemptions from this, not a single one.

We are NOT to play judge though, not against another's eternal life. I cannot judge anyone's eternal life. They could tell me straight to my face that they hate God and do not believe in Jesus Christ, and I can mourn their beliefs at that moment, but it will still be UP TO GOD, not me, to judge their eternal life.

I can judge the right or wrong of someone's actions in relation to my own beliefs, but not condemn those I believe are wrong- not eternally.

Each person stands or falls all on his own before his master- God.

If God wills that a person I don't believe is following the truth found in our Savior, is to be saved then God knows that person's heart, the depths of his truest beliefs more than I ever could. I am accountable for my judging.  And God would have us leave the judging to Him.

By the grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior, may we be fully His in all His truth and be judged worthy by Him, through Him. May we be kept from judging others in ways we were never meant to judge each other.

All through our SAVIOR, now and forever!

Rom 14:4  Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 

Rom 14:5  One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 

Rom 14:6  He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

Rom 14:7  For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 

Rom 14:8  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 

Rom 14:9  For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 

Rom 14:10  But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 

Rom 14:11  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 

Rom 14:12  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
