This theme seems very clear. There isn’t too much to be added here. 8 very specific references citing Jesus, Paul and James.

Should I be the judge? The early disciples of Jesus clearly understood what Jesus expected of them. This is important.

God’s goal is for us to focus on love. That is our clear mission. To judge takes us away from that.

Love is number one. Love is all important.

  • Matthew 7:1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
  • Matthew 7:2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
  • Luke 6:37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
  • Romans 14:4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
  • Romans 14:10 You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
  • 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Master comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
  • James 4:11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
  • James 4:12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
