“The Danger in NOT Judging Sin in Our Own Lives or Someone Else’s” August 23
We hear it all the time: “Christians aren’t supposed to judge.” But is that really what the Bible teaches?
Certainly, we cannot know another person’s heart or motives, and Jesus strongly warned against hypocritical, self-righteous judgment. But Scripture also commands believers to recognize sin, lovingly confront it when necessary, and help one another turn from destructive patterns. Sometimes refusing to judge sinful behavior isn’t loving at all.
But biblical judgment must begin much closer to home—with ourselves.
Today we’ll look at a series of heart-probing questions, based on 1 Corinthians 13 and other passages, that can help expose sinful habits before they damage our relationship with God and with the people we love.
We’ll also consider some things to remember when we’re going through tests and trials and some of the traps that can lead to sexual immorality.
