※ They are thieves and people who lead a clean life. But the reason they judge others is that they don't live the way he ought to live.
One). Moralists judge others.
※ “Judge” means to criticize, gossip, or condemn, which is a fatal flaw of moralists.
※ Attention: Anyone who judges others and puts out their own point of view becomes a moralist.
2). The moralist has no excuse and condemns himself for doing the same.
※ He fails just as the person he judged has failed (Romans 2:1, 1 Corinthians 10:13).
※ In God's eyes, sin is a matter of the heart and mind, not just actions.
Sin, whether a thought of the heart or a public act, falls short of the glory of God.
※ All people are sinners before God. Therefore, we should not judge, criticize or gossip about others. (Matthew 7:3, Romans 2:21-22, Gal 2:14, Titus 1:16)
※ Think of a time when everyone's tongue is silent. How different would the world be?
