“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.” Much of the Christian life borders on hypocrisy. We are charged, as sinful humankind, to live a holy life; this is a monumental and nearly impossible task. We must understand that instances will inevitably arise that require our “judgment” of another person. Those who have a keen awareness of their own sinfulness will act in humility and Godly restraint. Problems arise when we forget our place, disregard our own behavior, and take upon ourselves a position above our fellow man. God never struggles with judgment, for His character is absolutely perfect. All of His decisions and actions are performed “according to truth”. While we sometimes jump to conclusions, fail to obtain facts, and assume the worst, He is altogether righteous in His awareness and execution. Our only hope for holiness in our confrontation of sin is to rely on Him wholly. Praise God we do not make final decisions on the position of others in the sight of God! Let’s decide not to point fingers at others; instead living in a marvelous balance of humility and obedience, relying upon God for eternal judgments.
