1 “Do not judge, so that you won’t

be judged. 2 For you will be judged

by the same standard with which
you judge others, and you will be
measured by the same measure
you use.
MATTHEW 7:1-2
Judging Others
Story of a man looking
for a woman to marry
As Christians, do you
judge or not ?
 I Cor. 6:2
Do you not know that the
saints shall judge the
world? and if the world
shall be judged by you, are
you unworthy to judge the
smallest matters?
 The spiritual person
judges all things.
(1 Corinthians 2:15 ESV)
 Do not judge by
appearances, but judge
with right judgment.
(John 7:24 ESV)
2 For you will be judged by the
same standard with which you
judge others, and you will be
measured by the same measure
you use.
 The command make us to
be fair with others. Do you
want God to judge you
fairly and mercifully? Then
judge others fairly and
mercifully.
Before you judge
 3Why do you see the
speck in your brother’s
eye, but fail to see the
beam of wood in your
own?
4Or how can you say to
your brother, ‘Let me
remove the speck from
your eye,’ while there
is a beam in your own?
 5You hypocrite! First
remove the beam from
your own eye, and then
you can see clearly to
remove the speck from
your brother’s eye.
 How can we remove
the beams of various
sins that blind us so we
can properly minister
to others?
 1. To remove our
beams, we must
constantly evaluate
our sins.
 Psalms 139:23-24
23 Search me, O God, and know
my hearth: try me, and know my
thoughts:
24 And see if there be any wicked
way in me, and lead in the way
everlasting.
 2. To remove our beams,
we must ask others to help
evaluate our sins and short
comings.

Illustration: King David and Prophet

Nathan
 2 Samuel 12:13a
David responded to
Nathan, “I have sinned
against the Lord. “…
 Prov. 17:17
A Friend loves at all times, and a
brother is born for a difficult time.
 3. To remove our
beams, we must
confess and forsake
anything that might
blind us.
 I Thessalonians 5:22
Avoid every kind of
evil.
 I Corinthians
10:12 says, “So let the
one who thinks he is
standing be careful
that he does not fall.”
 11Do not speak evil against one another,
brothers. The one who speaks against a brother
or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law
and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you
are not a doer of the law but a judge. [12] There
is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to
save and to destroy. But who are you to judge
your neighbor? (James 4:11–12)
 
 Leviticus 19:15-18
Do not be judgmental
6...“Do not give dogs what
is holy, and do not throw
your pearls before pigs, lest
they trample them
underfoot and turn to
attack you.”
a. Quoting scripture
to a person is not
judging them.
b. Rebuking is not
judging.
 SOGIE EQUALITY BILL ( Sexual
Orientation and Gender Identity
Expression) – sponsored by Sen.
Risa Hontiveros. Past its third
reading on Sept. 20, 2017 in the
House of representatives, but died
in the Senate.
 As Christians, what should be our
stand regarding this Bill?

Take note, God’s words set the

standards.
* Remember Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen.
18-19)
Romans 1:26-32
There are some people
in the world, and often
in the church, who will
not only reject but
become hostile to the
Word of God.
 They may even try to tear
us apart if we present it to
them. In that situation, we
must discern their
character and potentially
not share God’s pearls with
them.
 Matthew 10:14-15
14 
If anyone will not welcome you
or listen to your words, leave that
home or town and shake the dust
off your feet. 15 Truly I tell you, it
will be more bearable for Sodom
and Gomorrah on the day of
judgment than for that town.
Conclusion:
A judgmental spirit will
often attribute the
worst possible
intentions to others.
 1 Corinthians 4:4-5,
Paul said:
4For I am not aware of
anything against myself, but
I am not acquitted because
of this. The one who judges
me is the Lord.
 5So then, do not judge anything
before the time. Wait until the Lord
comes. He will bring to light the
hidden things of darkness and
reveal the motives of hearts. Then
each will receive recognition from
God.
Do not speak in the hearing of a
fool, for he will despise the
wisdom of your words.
(Proverbs 23:9 NASB)
We are required to make
righteous judgments
(John 7:24).
