DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS, UNLESS YOU ARE NOT A SINNER

Matthew 7:1-5 1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

Jesus tells us to look at our sin before judging someone else. The Bible says we are to confront others sin with truth, love, in respect, and in prayer.   We cannot judge anyone because we do not know their hearts; only God can judge a person's, heart.  Allowing God to do His job, gives us freedom to examine ourselves for correction.

Father, help us accept each other without quarreling over disputable matters; because no one is in the same place with You, so let us not judge each other.  Lord, we are all sinners and fall short of Your glory; so give us eyes that see our sins and no one else.  Father, we are saved by grace through the conviction of Your Word, and none of us live for ourselves alone; because we have been brought with a price, His Blood.  So if we live we live for the You, and if we die we die for You, because we belong to the Lord.  So help us not judge each other; let us not treat each other with contempt, for we all will stand in the reckoning.  Father, let us not put stumbling blocks or obstacle in each other's way; but work in unity and help all God's followers sit at His feet.  Lord, we thank You for forgiveness, and remission of our sins, in Jesus name Amen
