Is It Always Wrong to Judge Others?
Dear Abba,
I am confused about judging others. In Matthew 7.1-3, Jesus tells Us not to judge, yet the Bible advises Us in other places to correct the behavior of our brothers and sisters. Isn't This correction a by-product of judging?
Dear Precious Child,
There is a right and wrong way to help your brothers and sisters; being judgmental is a Dangerous habit forming tendency of the heart to look down on others. There is a better way, Imitate Jesus!!
I. Don't Judge (Don't be Judgmental) John 8: 15-16. Matthew 7.1-4, Romans 2:1, James 4.11-12; Romans 4:34; Luke 18:9: John 8:7
II. Judge (With Humility, help others)
A. Make Correct JUDGMENTS John 7:24
B. Jesus Doesn't Say IGNORE the SPECK Matthew 75
C. Help the WAY you WANT to be HELPED Matthew 7:1-2
D. Judge INSIDERS I Corinthians 5:12; 6:7-5
E. Jesus EXPECTS Us to JUDGE Matthew 7.6, 15-23; 18:15-17; Galations 6:1-5
