Bible verses about judging others

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-16-26

by

Luke 6:37-38 (NKJV) 37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 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.”

What is it that will be measured back to us?

The same measure that we use when judging others, condemning them, and/or forgiving them, will come back to us based on what we give out.

Maybe today we walk around thinking it’s OK to judge others based on our own opinions. We feel like it’s our job.

But it isn’t up to us to judge someone’s actions based on what we think. It is up to us to judge ourselves and our own actions first. Only then can we judge others in a righteous and just manner.

When we learn that we are not the Judge, it causes us to be able to focus on what God is saying and showing us about our own lives. We are not in people’s business so much.

You see, paying constant attention to others and what they are doing, while failing to pay attention to ourselves, is a distraction in our walk with God.

It keeps us in a constantly distracted state of mind.

As I pondered this scripture, I prayed for God to help us to build our character in this area, that we would see and interact with others without condemnation, and that through our obedience in walking this out, they would see Christ in us in a powerful way.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-25-26

by

Matthew 7:4 (NKJV) 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

I remind myself often of this verse. It is one of those that really keeps me in my place.

It says it all; “look at the plank in your own eye.”

Believe it or not, we can judge someone without even realizing we are doing it. Judging is a very common thing.

When we see another’s speck, it’s easy to forget about our plank.

We have to teach ourselves not to judge. We must make ourselves aware of what we are doing and shut it down immediately.

Let us repent today, not for seeing or noticing the speck, but for holding it against them; treating them wrongly because of what they have done, or who they have become.

We need to remember how God’s grace was so real for us with our big old planks. And now that we have overcome some things and removed some planks, we too need to sow grace to others.

2 Timothy 2:1 (NKJV) 1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

When we see someone’s, speck be prayerful that God will help them, just like He did for us.

God bless you!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-21-25

by

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

For most people, appearance says a lot. It is how they judge a person; by what they have, how they carry themselves, or how they dress.

If we could only get this understanding; it is what’s in the heart of a man or woman that makes them who they are.

We can’t see a person’s heart as God does. But we can know someone’s heart, or even our own heart to some degree.

How?

By listening to what is said.

Matthew 15:18 (NKJV) 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.

A person’s words will speak volumes. We will hear what is in their heart if we listen when they speak.

It is the same with our own heart. If we listen to ourselves and what we say, we will hear what is in our heart as well.

The things we have in there that are good, we will hear them come out. And the things that need correcting and adjusting, they will show up as well.

We must stop looking at the appearance of someone and deciding who they are or what they are about.

Listening will show us what they are all about.

Some people may look like they don’t have much if we judge them by their appearance. But in their heart they may be rich in love and wisdom.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-31-24

by

Matthew 7:1 (NKJV) 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

We are all in a different place in our walk with God.

And this is one of the reasons we should never judge a person.

We don’t know where others are at, or what they are dealing with. Only God knows.

His judgement is righteous, and He knows everything about each person, and He judges them rightly.

Thank God He is our judge. He gives us all many chances to get things right. And He forgives us for things we would never forgive ourselves for doing. His mercy is new every day!

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NKJV) 22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

There are a lot of things we all must work on. But hopefully, as we get stronger in our walk with God, some things will become less of a struggle for us.

Our journey with Christ is an ongoing walk. It is a process.

We are all learning, growing and asking God for His forgiveness, whether we are a new believer or an older believer.

When we see others doing things that we have grown away from, we may judge them or look at them negatively. But the better thing to teach ourselves is to pray for them and ask God to help them in that area.

We must remember to continue to treat others with the same treatment God gives to us; with much love, mercy and forgiveness.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-24 – A Work in Progress

by

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

There is a phrase that Jesus spoke in which He referred to specks and planks. 

In our new video, we also refer to that phrase as we teach about being careful not to judge others because we are all “A Work in Progress” as God teaches us and molds us. 

This is a great lesson for all of us, to remind us that not even one of us is perfect. 

We hope you enjoy it!

We love you all! 

Enjoy your day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-27-23

by

Matthew 7:1 (NJKV) 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

This single verse has been the topic of many conversations, discussions, and debates down through the centuries since Jesus spoke these words.

What did He mean by it?

Is there a deeper meaning than the few simple words are implying?

Judging others is something that we all do to some extent. It is a natural human tendency to see someone doing something and pass judgment on them.

But what about the words of Jesus? Does what He said mean that we cannot or should not ever judge anyone?

Before we go any further, we need to look at the word, “judge”.

In the context that Jesus spoke these words, judge literally means condemn.

Some might think of judging as the harmless passing of opinions about someone for their appearance or their behavior.

But Jesus was telling us not to condemn. There is nothing harmless about condemning others.

It is, in fact, very harmful.

When we see others behaving in ways that are not rooted in righteousness, condemning that person will never help them.

There are times to correct someone, and there are times to pray for them. We need to lean on the Holy Spirit to show us how to handle each situation as we encounter them.

We need to understand that each action we take and every word that we speak should be done with redemption as the end goal.

Speaking harshly and outwardly condemning a person will do one thing; push them away from us.

This eliminates any opportunity we might have had to help them in a redeeming way.

So, let us remember that although a person’s behavior may not be what it should be, our goal as a follower of Christ should always be to create an environment where redemption should be our goal, even if we may never see that person again.

Looking down upon a person never brings good.

Redemption, and change in a person’s life, can come only when we treat others as the Holy Spirit leads us to do, and we work to bring redemption or restoration to them, not condemn them.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-10-22

by

Matthew 7:1-2 (NKJV) 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

Judging or finding fault with others is a big thing with Christians, and it can become a problem.

We have not become perfect and without fault just because we have become a Christian.

We still sin and we still have many things to work on. We struggle with our weaknesses. They tend to show up and remind us of this every now and then.

So, why do we point out the faults of others and ignore our own?

Most times it is because we are trying to feel better about ourselves. We don’t want to have to deal with our own sins, so if we can find someone with what we would call a “more obvious or worse sin” we tend to point it out. It is a huge distraction for most of us.

We need to get our eyes off of others and pay attention to our own sin that needs dealing with.

Some of us our dealing with things that have been with us since our childhood.

Some of us our dealing with things that have happened while we were under some sort of abusive situation.

And others are dealing with sinful addictions that we have learned to hide very well, etc.

We all have our own faults/sins, so pointing out the sins of others, and talking about it, will not take God’s eyes off of ours. Let us deal with our own faults and pray for others that need a change of heart as well.

God is faithful to help us remain humble in our hearts while listening and watching others that need help in their walk as well as us.

Finding fault and judging won’t get us anywhere but in trouble.

Job 6:24 (NKJV) 24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-18-22

by

Matthew 7:1 (NKJV) 7 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

The one thing we can learn not to do is judge others. How do we tell ourselves not to judge, and then follow through with it?

There is a way, and that is to remember and keep at the forefront of our minds that we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

All of us have done things. And some of us continue to do things that are disturbing or sinful.

Some sins may seem bigger than others to us in our minds. But in God’s eyes, sin is sin.

Knowing and always remembering who we are and why we need salvation will keep us from judging or being so hard on  others.

Sometimes we need to know about a person’s situation, so we know where they are coming from. This may sometimes change our perspective, and help keep us from judging them incorrectly.

Let’s be careful that we are not judging and talking about others just because they may be a little different than what we would expect them to be.

We all have our sins and we all need to be forgiven for some things most days.

Bless and pray for our brothers and sisters, and even those that are difficult to be around. They need Him too. Amen.

James 5:16 (NKJV) 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-30-19

by

Matthew 7:3 (NKJV) 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 

Why does it seem OK for us to act a certain way, but when someone else does the same thing, we don’t like it?

We make a big deal out of it. We don’t let them have any excuses for how they behaved. No, we do not overlook it or take it lightly. Instead, we hold on to it.

What are we doing when we act like this? We could have a big old plank in our eye, but we will strain to see what others need to fix in their lives.

Let’s just call it what it is today.

Matthew 7:2 (NKJV) 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

How do we stop spending so much time judging others so harshly? We start looking at ourselves.

Boy, when we start to see ourselves and how we act at times, we won’t be so quick to look down our noses at others.

When we get real and we start to watch what we say and do, or pay closer attention to our thoughts, watch out. We will find out that there are things we need to tend to immediately.

One of the biggest ways the devil gets us distracted from seeing our own faults is by putting others in front of us.

But we can beat him at his game. How? By putting God’s word into action. This verse says a lot. It may take us time to get this right, but we have to start somewhere.

Looking at ourselves is going to be war for our flesh. Flesh does not like to look at itself as ever being in the wrong. Our first battle will be with our own self. When we get past that, we will battle the enemy and his strategies or attacks.

Either battle, God will help us win as we put our foot forward and really want to learn and do what it takes to change. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-25-18

by

Psalm 119:7 (NKJV) 7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments.

The Lord has His way of helping us to see things correctly when we listen and let Him teach us.

Our judgements of things and of people are off because our judgement is tainted. We are not perfect like Jesus and our Heavenly Father. They have righteous judgement. They are not wrong in their judgement. They are to the point and on target. They know exactly what is wrong in any given person or situation. And they know what it will take to fix the problem.

We can never reach a point in our walk with God where we think we can judge someone righteously and accurately, as God can. This is dangerous because we don’t see the whole picture; only bits and pieces.

God sees it all and He knows from start to finish how things will turn out. We have no place in playing God’s role.

Matthew 7:1 (NKJV) 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

Judge no one.

Let’s work on ourselves and praise God for all of His help in guiding us to a straight and narrow path. Amen.
