WHY CONDEMN ANOTHER?

 

WHY CONDEMN ANOTHER?

Rom. 14:10 So why do you condemn another Christian? Why do you look down on another Christian? Remember, each of us will stand personally before the judgment seat of God. NLT

No two Christians are exactly alike. We are each uniquely and wonderfully make by our Creator. We have different experiences of life, different personalities, different ways of looking at things, and different abilities to understand things. No matter how straightforward and true our doctrine may be, there are no two people who perfectly agree on all things.

So, who are we to condemn another believer because we don't see eye-to-eye on things? Isn't it possible that our differences can be the strength of the body instead of her weakness? It's okay if we don't agree on what everything the Word says and how to apply it to life as long as we don't disagree on the cross and what Jesus did for us there. We rally together at the foot of the cross and let Him unite us together. He is big enough to allow for our differences and so should we be. Don't be so arrogant to condemn another believer because they may express themselves differently than you do. Rather, embrace them in Christ.

It is not our role to shun another believer. Each of us will stand before God and give an account of his life. If there is anything that needs to be dealt with, God will handle it. He does not need our help.
