Do not judge, or you will be judged





Romans 2: 1,2 "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. "

Matthew 3: 2-4 "For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the specking your brother's eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' while there is still a beam in your own eye? "

God's Word tells us clearly that judging others, we lay ourselves open court of God. But the Bible clearly shows that if we see our brother or sister in Christ sinning, we should not turn a blind eye, afraid to fall into condemnation. But we must convict that person to save his soul, as God has given us the authority and the right.

Matthew 18: 15-17 "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. "

Romans 14: 5 "One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. "
1 Timothy 5:20 "But those elders who are sinning you are to reprove before everyone, so that the others may take warning."

The Old Testament says that if you will not warn a sinner, his blood will be on your hands.

Ezekiel 3: 18-19 "When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin;. but you will have saved yourself. "

Ezekiel 3: 20-21 "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin the righteous.. things he did will not be remembered and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself. "

But it's important, warning your brothers and sisters about sin not to fall into judging, because  Lord Jesus said with what judgment you judge, and you will be judged. When you warn someone, do it with God's love.

Matthew 7: 2 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

It can happen that you yourself have sinned, but did not realize, because  refuse to listen to the gentle voice of the Holy Spirit. and then God will send someone to you in order to save your soul.
