Steemchurch: Who are we to judge others?

Source

Many people spend more of their lives criticizing or seeing the mistakes that other people make instead of working on their own mistakes. The word of God tells us:

Romans 14:10

10 Now, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? Because we must all appear before the court of Christ. 11 It is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before me, and every tongue will give glory to God." 12 Then each one of us will render an account of himself to God.

We are not the ones to judge others, we can advise, as good brothers, but we can not judge or despise others when they make mistakes or are in sin. We all come from sin. We all make mistakes, the only perfect is God, then why do we have the habit of judging? A Judge is one who has the authority to judge and sentence and is responsible for the application of the laws. By having to apply the law, it is because he first respects the laws. The judge par excellence, right and just really is God and he has not given us that power to us, on the contrary in his word we always see emphasis on not judging your brother.

James 4: 11-12

11 Brothers, do not speak ill of each other. If someone speaks ill of his brother, or judges him, he speaks badly of the law and judges him. And, if you judge the law, you are no longer a lawgiver, but your judge. 12 There is only one lawgiver and judge, the one who can save and destroy. You, on the other hand, who are you to judge your neighbor?

Source   The word of God teaches us to receive our brothers with their mistakes, with their defects, as brothers we must help our neighbor to come out of their mistakes, pray for them and not underestimate them, because what love can exist in us if we despise freckle?. The basis of Christianity is love of neighbor, and our neighbor is a human being who makes mistakes just like us. Some are stronger than others, others weak and easily fall, but for that the Lord has sent us, to help and not to judge.

Romans 14: 1-4

1 Receive the one who is weak in faith, but not to enter into discussions. 2 To some their faith allows them to eat everything, but there are those who are weak in faith, and only eat vegetables. 3 He who eats of everything should not despise him who does not eat certain things, and he who does not eat of everything should not condemn the one who does, for God has accepted it. 4 Who are you to judge the servant of another? Whether it remains standing or that it falls is the concern of its own lord. And it will remain standing, because the Lord has the power to sustain it.

Source   Other people want to pretend that they are perfect and that they do not make mistakes, they like to go through life pointing to their neighbor demonstrating their supposed righteousness, but in the occult they do things that do not please God, and God who searches the hearts knows it. God is the Judge and hates the one who does these things. There are people who sin without intention, but the one who sins and hides it, does it again and again and pretends what is not.

Romans 2: 1-3

1 Therefore, you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others, because in judging others you condemn yourself, since you practice the same things. 2 Now we know that the judgment of God against those who practice such things is based on the truth. 3 Do you think then that you are going to escape the judgment of God, you who judge others and yet do the same as they do?

In the end we will all be judged by the same God, the one who knows everything, and knows what is really in your heart and in my heart. Let him be the one who judges others as they should be and dedicate our lives to seek more of God, to please him alone, to perfect ourselves in his ways and to help our neighbors to reach the kingdom of God, to advise them and to guide them as they should. be.

Matthew 7: 1-5

1 Do not judge anyone, so that no one will judge you. 2 For as they judge they will be judged, and with the measure they measure others, they will be measured.3 Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, and do not give importance to the beam that Is it in yours? 4 How can you tell your brother: "Let me get the splinter out of your eye", when there is a beam in yours? 5 You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to get the splinter out of your brother's eye.

While we are on this earth, let us mark a goal in our lives, help more people to come to the ways of God regardless of their mistakes and sin, let us help them out of that hole where they are, let us be merciful as God has had mercy for us and let's demonstrate the love of Christ in us. Let's focus our life on fulfilling the word of God and the revelation of God through his word will guide us to preach to those people who need it now more than ever.
