Do I do the same things I pass judgment on?

Scripture: Romans 2: 1-3, 6

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. So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? (1-3) God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” (6)

Scripture Commentary:

How can you justifiably judge someone else? Whenever you find yourself feeling justifiably angry about someone’s sin, look in the mirror and say, “Do I do the same things?”

We have all sinned.

If we are being truthful, we still sin. Oftentimes the things we notice in others are the things that have taken root in us.

God has halted His judgment on us to give us time to repent. If God is giving us time, why can’t we give one another time?

Be a true light in the world for Our Lord Jesus Christ. Help others. In doing so we must live the life of being a true Christian.

When others look at us, what do they see?

Do they see the God in us or the Satan in us? If it is the God in us, they will see the wonderful gift of salvation.
