Set right by grace

As children of God, we being trained in righteousness by the Spirit of the Lord, show no tolerance towards unrighteousness or the cunningness of the people. It is right to hate everything that is sinful or unrighteous... for even God doesn't tolerate such evil. But we need to be careful that we don't fall into the trap of self-righteousness. Sometimes we can miss that mark and start becoming very judgmental in attitude. If we continue in this attitude, we will start becoming like the Pharisees of Jesus time...

Luke 18:9 (NASB)

And He told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt.

We have no right to judge others, for it is only God who is the true Judge. So even if someone whom we know have sinned or does wrong, then let us pray that they should repent and be made right with God. May they be touched by the Lord and be saved rather than facing the wrath of God. And we ourselves hold this attitude... that though we were sinners, Christ died for us and through that realization we have been saved and have been made righteous by His grace...

  1. Amen to this.

    The best tool is to Pray rather than to judge someone...
