He will. Not you.
the Psalmist says of God,
"He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth."
Psalm 96:13b.
Here is a very important point lost on many Christians. Or at least those who call themselves Christians. The Psalmist makes it clear “HE, (God), will judge the world...”
Jesus quoted in the Gospel of Luke,
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:7.
In Matthews Gospel Jesus is quoted as saying,
"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.
Billy Graham the late American evangelist stated.
“It is the Holy Spirits Job to Convict,
God's job to judge
and my job to love,”
Billy Graham
We will never win souls for Christ if we are even perceived as judging them. As Billy Graham stated it is our job to love.
Jesus made it clear what His purpose in coming to earth was for when he said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
These words should always be on our minds when we speak about Jesus, “ God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him”.
Is this the message you are presenting to the world?
Or are you in the habit of judging those in the world around you?
Please think about it.
