Be Careful Judging




Judgment is wrong. Righteous judgement is not. That is, we can evaluate others lives based on the word and go to their aid when they are struggling. However, the final judgment call is by our Master.  God makes that ruling on judgement day. Be careful lest you be found making the final judgement on someone. (Romans 14:4)


“Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.” Romans 14:4 NKJV

  1. You are correct. We are to "be careful making judgments." We are to "....judge righteous judgment." - John 7:24. However judge we must - I Corinthians 5; 6; Romans 16:17; II John 9-11; Galatians 1:6-12; I John 4:1; etc.. The Romans 14:4 passage, is talking about situations where God's word is not definitive and there is room for opinion - not in areas, where God's word is definitive. When we do not have all the facts, or there could be another way of looking at things, we would be idiots, to make definitive judgments - Proverbs 18:17! Many have been unjustly so judged, me included! Many have been erroneously misjudged. I am satisfied, to let God sort it all out, in the "after awhile!".....

The Effects

Make sure you are taking into account eternity with every choice you make about fun and pleasure. We will all be held accountable. As a family, we want to cultivate an environment that continually produces good wholesome fun. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” 1 Corinthians 5:10 NKJV

Complaining

Complaining means it is about me. Life in Christ is not about us. Our Christian walk is about God and our neighbor. We do not get the privilege of complaining as blessed servant slaves of righteousness.  We must think twice before we speak our complaints.  (Phil. 2:14-16; Lk. 10:27)
