Tag: judge not lest you be judged

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-27-14

(Matthew 7:1 NKJV)  “Judge not, that you be not judged.

Why do we feel the need, at times when someone messes up, to have to judge the situation and give our opinion on the matter? Do we forget that we aren’t perfect and that we mess up too?

Sometimes we need to be reminded that falling, messing up or making mistakes happens to all of us at times, and that none of us are perfect and we need each other more than we think… especially when we make mistakes.

God tells us not to judge each other, but to love one another.

(John 13:34 NKJV)  “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Help someone today that has messed up, by letting them know that no matter what they did wrong, we will still love them.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-9-14

Matthew 7:1-2 (NKJV) 7 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Have you ever been unjustly judged? Have you ever been judged by the way you look, something you said or maybe even something you did when you happened to make a poor choice about something?

Sometimes we can do something that causes us to “wear that label” on us for a long time. It can take years to shake that stigma off. And sometimes it never completely goes away.

And it never, ever feels good, does it? Sometimes it feels like it might kill us or destroy us emotionally. Sometimes it might even make us feel like we want to give up and throw in the towel, so to speak.

Well, how about when we do that to someone else? Have we ever judged someone based on what we see on the surface or maybe something we heard from someone else? Have we ever written someone off because we thought they weren’t worth anything?

So how do we think it makes them feel? No better than we feel when it happens to us, right?

OK. So what are we going to do about it? We need to stop judging. We need to start seeing people through the eyes of God, with love and compassion, just as we want people to see us.

We need to remind ourselves of how we feel when people judge us without knowing us or what we’ve walked through in our lives. And then we need to view others with that in mind.

Remember, Jesus died for that person that we’re judging, as much as He died for you and for me. God’s compassion, mercy and forgiveness extend to them just as much as they extend to you and me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-13

Matthew 7:1 (NKJV) “Judge not, that you be not judged.

Seven little words.

But these seven little words carry a lot of weight. And over the last several months God has been driving this home to me in many, many ways, showing me that all Christians are guilty of this and that our guilt has driven people away from Him by the millions.

100 years ago this might not have been such an obvious problem in light of that fact that there was no television, no internet and very few telephones over which people could gossip and share their judgments about others.

But it was still happening and it has bloomed into a major problem today. Modern technology has cause this problem to be magnified a million times over, causing much hurt in the world.

We need to remember that even though we know the truth of God’s word when it comes to sin, and the consequences of sin, it is not our duty to pass judgment on anyone who partakes of particular sins.

We are, after all, all sinners. And sin is sin, regardless of what kind of sin we are each guilty of.

Jesus set the example for us Himself, as He chose to LOVE sinners, rather than judge them for their sin. This was obvious in so many instances, where He would tell them plainly that He did not condemn them, but would tell them to sin no more and then send them on their way.

Church, let’s follow in His footsteps. Let’s love people for who they are and let God be their judge.
