Today’s behavioral culture of many is attempting to establish convincingly our character decency and innocence even though we are full of sh*t while condemning others who are truly flawless and squeaky-clean with their way of life. Usually the offenders are those who bear with them a mentality of guilty conscience of some past wrong doings. Perhaps by condemning others, they thought they could distract others from their own guilt.
It’s easy to censure someone’s imperfections but missed examining our own. It’s easy to condemn someone’s imperfections without realizing that we are imperfect ourselves. If not for the Almighty God’s mercies and grace in us through his son, our Saviour Jesus, we may be worse than those we disapprove. In another sense, we are the devil if not for Christ’s love in God’s mercies and grace.
We were caution never to judge a book by its cover.
The face and deeds of a person could never reveal the truth in a person’s heart. The actual truth of a person lies in the heart. That’s the marvelous masterpiece of God’s creation in us. Only God himself have access to the hidden truth and lies that lay deep in our hearts. That’s why only God himself could play the ultimate Sovereign Judge of us.
It’s also easy to condemn anyone when we possess an authoritative and influential status.
While many wrong doers celebrates their convincing escape from their earthly judgments, they easily forgets that it is not so on Judgment Day when God himself will reveal every deceit committed in our hearts.
It is easy to fabricate lies and plot for someone’s misfortunes and thought this malice is kept secretly in our heart never-to-be uncover but we will pay dearly someday because our Maker knows. We’ll be fortunate to get our comeuppance at the hands of man’s judgment and then repent from it, otherwise ‘it’ll be hell’ for us without mercy when God finally judge us!
If we learn not to judge and condemn others, then the seed of Christ's character slowly grow in us.
You may think you can condemn people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. Since you judge others for doing wrong, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things? Romans 2:1,3
