Jesus didn’t come to be our judge. God is the judge of man’s hearts. Jesus came to save. As Christians, it’s our responsibility to love as He loved. We cannot judge another man’s heart, but He has given us the discernment to judge fruit. If a person shows no fruit (lives to please self instead of following the Bible’s teachings) then he isn’t keeping God’s Words. Jesus loved unconditionally, but He loved too much to leave people lost in darkness. As His followers, we should possess the desire to guide the lost from darkness to Light. Will we be accused of judging? Yes, unfortunately our motives can be misinterpreted. But that shouldn’t silence us. If we’ve experienced Jesus’ saving grace, then we should do our best to share His grace with others. Jesus came to save the world. Let’s do our part by sharing the truth of salvation.
