"For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 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 own eye?"
MATTHEW 7:2-4
To judge other people is folly. The Lord Jesus asks that we pick up the cross and love for Christ. This is to give, to love, to shine brightly. Show the world Jesus lives. All good and loving actions and thoughts are from Jesus. No longer judge man. Darkness is over - the light is here. Shine brightly for your Lord Jesus as he did for you.
Those who call Jesus Lord and have been baptized with water in his name are born again from the inside with the spirit of God. In rebirth, the Lord has forgiven your sins and given you a new spirit - his spirit such that you will seek him always and he will guide you always. In this truth of rebirth - do not judge another for you are not the judge. We are judged from on high through the atonement of Christ Jesus - not on the line of sin for which we are all born into the world. So it is better to remain humble with your gaze set firmly in need of the Lord to keep your path straight then to be proud and wise in the ways of the world.
