Judgement and Bitter Roots
I did this in bible study yesterday and I believe the more I become closer to God the more I notice the amount I judge. so today I want to help you understand judgement and how to get rid of those bitter roots that hold on to your judgement.
1. Who is Judge?
God and only GOD
Psalm 50:6
Then Let the heavens proclaim his justice,
for God himself will be the judge.
John 8:15
Jesus speaking
You judge me by human standards, but I do not
judge anyone.
John 12:47
I will not judge those who hear me but don't obey me,
for I have come to save the world and not judge it.
Yes even Jesus is not aloud to judge us or anyone!
Can I judge others?
NO!
James 4:12
God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge.
He alone has the power to save or to destroy.
So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?
Matthew 7:1-2
Do not judge others, and you will not be judged.
For you will be treated as you treat others.
The standard you use in judging is
the standard by which you will be judged.
John 7:51
Is it legal to convict a man before he is given a hearing?
What happens when I judge?
You are really only hurting yourself! most judgements are made because you are mad at yourself. or just need someone to point at for this problem.
Romans 2:1
You may think you can condemn such 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.
If I judge what should I do?
Ask for forgiveness and forget it!
James 4:17
Remember, it is a sin to know what you ought to
do and then not do it.
Hebrews 12:15
Look after each other so that none of you fails to
receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous
root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.
Judgement in my eyes is "you speaking life into someone else's death"
Meaning that if you speak life into your anger, you then are speaking death into you and the person you have anger about!
Judging is you saying or feeling something and really not finding out whats really happening.
You really don't know their hearts only God does!
