They will
In the book of James we read,
“Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!” James 2:12, 13.
Jesus makes one thing clear. We are not to judge. He states,
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1,2.
Jesus makes it clear we are not to judge anyone. Sadly many calling themselves Christians judge people all the time. I see this especially among those who call themselves evangelical Christians.
They are always out there pointing out sin. Judging people because of the way they live or their lifestyle.
Christians are not to do it! Jesus made it clear what the job of the Christian is when He said,
"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20.
We cannot win a soul for Christ if we even give the appearance of judging them.
Our job as believers in Christ Jesus is to present the love and mercy God offers all mankind through Christ Jesus.
After that they must decide for themselves if they believe it or not.
It is my belief that if those calling themselves Christians continue to judge those they disagree with. They will be the ones God judges.
Please think about it.
