Scripture: Romans 2: 1-4

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? Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

Scripture Commentary: We are not to pass judgment on others.

How can you tell another that s/he isn’t living as God intended when you aren’t either?  In order to pass judgment (for you do not have that right), you must look at yourself.  And when you do this, what do you see?  Do you see your true self or do you see the person you think you are?

We have all sinned; we are all sinning.

Don’t pass judgment on others.  But do start with yourself.  Take a look; find your faults and work to correct them.

We belong to a stubborn race.  We know what’s right but we insist on doing what’s wrong.  But we must start to do what is right.  Even people who have never read The Bible – and who do not know Jesus Christ – know right from wrong.  If you travel the world, you find that all cultures prohibit murder, adultery, and stealing.  Yet these laws are always being broken.

If we would violate our own laws, what are we doing to God’s law?

There are always people within society who violate the law.  If we do not follow the laws we’ve made, what then are we doing to God’s law?  If you follow God’s laws and live the life He intended, then as His children your life would become a reflection of Him.
