So every single one of you who judge others is without any excuse. You condemn yourself when you judge another person because the one who is judging is doing the same things. We know that God’s judgment agrees with the truth, and his judgment is against those who do these kinds of things. If you judge those who do these kinds of things while you do the same things yourself, think about this: Do you believe that you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you have contempt for the riches of God’s generosity, tolerance, and patience? Don’t you realize that God’s kindness is supposed to lead you to change your heart and life? You are storing up wrath for yourself because of your stubbornness and your heart that refuses to change. God’s just judgment will be revealed on the day of wrath. God will repay everyone based on their works. On the one hand, he will give eternal life to those who look for glory, honor, and immortality based on their patient good work. But on the other hand, there will be wrath and anger for those who obey wickedness instead of the truth because they are acting out of selfishness and disobedience. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. God does not have favorites. (Romans 2:1-11, CEB)
Anyone who judges another human is without excuse. They condemn themselves when they judge someone else for the very thing they judge the other for. We are storing up hatred and wrath for ourselves when we judge others.
We are called to love. Period. Not to look at others and see how they are not living according to how we think they should live, but loving them as they are and worrying about our own troubles and how we are living.
God’s loving kindness is supposed to lead us to change our lives and be loving to everyone.
God created us and loves us all. Therefore we should not judge anyone but love as God loves, unconditionally.
Love like God.
Loving People. Loving God.
