Judge not [July 10,2022 ]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

Judge not
Leviticus 19:15
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgement: …..but in righteousness shall thou judge thy neighbour

It is very easy to point fingers and criticize the wrongs or sins of others. However, when it comes to our sins we give excuses to defend whatever wrong we did.

If you can give excuses for yourself why can’t you do the same for others. The verse above says we should judge our neighbours in righteousness, meaning, we should not criticize to destroy but to improve our neighbour’s character.

Galatians 6:1-2 says
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

This is the biblical direction of how to correct one another.

Matthew 7:1-3
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with the judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with the measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother,’s eye, but considerest not the beam in thy own eye.

According to the passage above, it is better not to judge another because what you do to others will be done to you.

Do not be quick to judge, but correct one another in love.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Learn to encourage and correct in love.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

Do you know why Jesus has not come back
It’s because He’s given you
Another chance
He sits in heaven
And pleads for us all
He says
Look at the cross
The blood that I shared
For the remission of sin for man
I died for them all
Give them another chance
This is the way Jesus pleads for us all
Amen.
