Published by Dear readers,
For my fellow Christians I would like to say that we should PRAY for the Lost. All too often, people are quick to judge. There is no problem in giving correction,but as for judging the state of another’s heart, we are not in a position to do. We are to carry forth the message of God’s great gift to us, Salvation.
I love people, I never write anything out of hate or spite and I am quick to forgive when offended. You want to reach someone else for Christ? If you do, and if you are SINCERE then your life will reflect it. There are some who claim to be Christian with their mouths but whose lives do not reflect it.
Sometimes, the world sees hypocrisies and so it makes them doubt, but a TRUE Christian will live a life that reflects the Gospel and is pleasing to the Lord. Scripture warns us to avoid hypocrisies, a true Christian will conform to the Will of God and not to the world.
We all fall short of God’s glory, but the closer we walk with Him, the more our lives will reflect Him. Pray for guidance and you will avoid the snares and pitfalls.
Just some food for thought
Forever and Sincerely,
In Love and Faith
Christ’s road is never easy. But if we can give back just a tenth of what he has given us we are on the right road.
Thank you for the reminder.
You have written honestly and sincerely. I’m with you.
You have a good heart, you’re a good man.
Remember, we are all born with “original sin”, therefore we are all sinners if you go by the interpretation of the Great Bible. Jesus hung out with the whores, thieves, junky’s, and the sinners of his day, if I recall my Catholic education. So to judge is not a sin but a necessary evil to seperate the bad from the good. God is not the only supreme being for judgement. We as people are given the life experience and power to judge over ones behavoir,actions,and atrocities that effect each and everyone of the living. So without judgement, it’s really a free for all. No laws, no justice, no resolution. That’s anarchy. We are born to judge the living and the dead, as God has empowered us to do so. Judgement is not rooted in sin, it’s rational, intelligent judgements that guide us through life. Well written but not sure really where your coming from intellectually.
Rich my point was only this, not to judge hypocritically. We don’t know the hearts of others but their actions are reflections of their hearts. Jesus said people will be known by their fruits
remember also, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”
“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” John 7:24
John’s point was summed up in the first sentence Richard
“For my fellow Christians I would like to say that we should PRAY for the Lost. All too often, people are quick to judge. There is no problem in giving correction,but as for judging the state of another’s heart, we are not in a position to do. ”
We are to judge righteous judgment, we are to give correction if we see someone doing wrong, but we need to do it in such a way that the person receiving the correction knows why they are being corrected and that we care, we don’t hate people we correct those who are in error because we Love them, not to attack or beat them down
Very true, to treat each other and love one another we are on the right road.
Beautiful article, very inspirational
