God Quote-The Danger of Judging

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Matthew 7:1.

Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

In this statement, the word “judge” means “to decide” someone’s guilt or innocence. In our relationships, there is great danger in playing the part of the judge when only God is qualified to give the final verdict about someone’s life. It is hard to love someone that we dismiss as a lost cause. As long as people have breath, they have opportunity to repent. Sharing the kindness of Jesus with them extends that opportunity.

Matthew 7:1-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
