To Judge Or Not To Judge


Do we have the right to judge people? The Bible says we will be judged in the same way we judge others. With that in mind, we should consider our motives and sin in our life before we decide to judge.
Philippians 1:9,10 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus distinguished between true religion and false religion -- spiritual truth and spiritual hypocrisy.
So, we are to judge between truth and falsehood, true righteousness and hypocrisy, God's voice and the enemy's voice.
Jesus was wrongfully judged. He spent more time with prostitutes and other discarded people than He did with religious people. He was criticized for associating with the down and out of society.
