As humans, we constantly do a very bad thing and we think that it’s ok and expected of us because of where we worship God but it’s not. What could that be? Evaluation. Evaluation of events could be helpful, but the evaluation of people and what they do is not.
Why not? Good question! Very simply put: it’s not our job, it’s Gods and God’s alone.
We wont ever be in charge now or in judgment, but God is.
Unfortunately there are many religions and people who have a habit of basing what they do on what people do and that is called being judgmental.
The Bible is extremely clear on this:
Matt 7:1-2
7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
NIV
So, don’t judge others! Their lives are between them and God, NOT YOU! Not man made rules!
Your job is to love them. When Jesus came to this earth we were all sinners and lost. But now we are forgiven, not sinless but forgiven. We now have the gift of God’s grace. We haven’t changed one bit but we have been forgiven and accepted by God as we are. That is what makes it so wonderful and amazing.
Having gone through the transition of being a genius and very successful to a TBI and handicapped and poor myself, one thing has not changed for me at all: God is God and I am not.
People are people and God made them, so regardless of what they do, I don’t have to evaluate them or choose to do what they do because that’s between us and God alone, no I can only love them. So that’s my job, yours too.
