How often do we judge others?

How often do we judge others…? 😓

The word "judge" means…
"to discern, to judge."

When we say "judge"…🤔
We tend to think of making negative judgments like, "That person is no good"…
…It includes words that evaluate and judge people…😰.

Every day, we evaluate and judge people, for better or for worse.
…It's easy to criticize someone's flaws…😓

Without realizing it…
"I'm better than that person"…
Perhaps that's why we can judge others…😰
…That's a distorted, unhealthy state of mind, the sin of pride❗️
…As I spoke about in yesterday's service…😥
Unless there is sincere repentance, that person will surely…😰
Be possessed by evil spirits.

Evil spirits…love pride😋.

…Proverbs says,
"It is not good to judge people favoritism."

People have strengths as well as weaknesses!

…Romans 14:4.
"Who are you, judging your neighbor?"
…The one who judges is God.

Those who judge others are unaware of the grave sin of impersonating God.

…Let us strive to be tolerant Christians who forgive others!

Shalom 😃
