Grace for your spirit January 29,2010

Grace for your spirit
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7:1-2
This is the verse everyone knows. It is the most memorized and quoted verse by those who have never read the Bible. People use this verse as a defense again the exposure of their ungodly lifestyles. When someone points out sin in their lives, they immediately pull out the "judge not" verse, in the hope that we will go run and hide. God has given us His word and the ability to use His word, so we can lead others out of sin and into the light of Jesus. He does not want us to judge them. He does not want us to judge their motives, but He wants us to call their sins into judgment. Jesus said, "By their fruits, you will know them." We can't be judges, but we are most definitely called to be fruit inspectors. We also need to accept the same standard of judgment that we put out. If we can't take it, don't put it out. Let's hate the sin, but love the sinner. With that, judgment will turn to joy in the morning.


The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
