Condemn Not > Not Condemned ~
Introduction ~ One of the
consistent themes in Scripture is that what we sow is what we will reap. In
agricultural terms if we sow wheat, we will reap wheat and not something else
such as corn. This reaping what is sown theme is found throughout both the Old
and New Testaments. In this series we look at some New Testament examples.
Keep
in mind that God lives outside of time and sometimes our reaping may not be
immediate, but it is assured. In reference to His future return Jesus said,
“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one
according to his work” (Revelation 22:12).
Scripture ~ “Judge
not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be
condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to
you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put
into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured
back to you” (Luke 6:37-38).
Comment ~ While we
are not to judge individuals or their motives, we are to exercise discernment
between what is right and wrong.
“But
solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to
distinguish good from evil” (Hebrews 5:14).
