Judge or Reconciler?

Aug28

Do not complain (groan), brethren, againstone another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing rightat the door.
James 5:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.9.NASB1995

Complaining never solves anything. It causes division, grumbling, separation and so much more. Take the matter at hand to the one concerned and attempt reconciliation.

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; . . . .
James 4:11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.11.NASB1995

God is the Judge. Not you. Not me.

but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter 4:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.4.5.NASB1995

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.
1 Corinthians 4:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.5.NASB1995

🌹There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

Only One Lawgiver and Judge

Aug19

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. 
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?
James 4:11-12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.11-12.NASB1995

How easily it comes to us to point the finger, speak against, and judge a person for their words and/or actions without knowing the why of it. We all have been on both sides in this. We say or do something we regret and have been judged for it.

“Do not judge so that you will not be judged.
Matthew 7:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.1.NASB1995

Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
James 5:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.9.NASB1995

For the Lord is our judge, The Lord is our lawgiver, The Lord is our king; He will save us—
Isaiah 33:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.33.22.NASB1995

But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.
James 1:22 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.22.NASB1995

If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
James 2:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.8.NASB1995

🌹If God is our Judge and the Judge of all His Creation, who are we to judge anyone? Especially a brother or sister. We are to love one another in obedience to the royal law.

No Partiality

Jun25

My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.
For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?
James 2:1-4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.1-4.NASB1995

The rich and the poor have a common bond, The Lord is the maker of them all.
There is no partiality with God and God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
We do not know the heart of a person by their attire or stature in society. We are not to judge for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him.
We shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, nor judge according to appearance, but we are to judge our neighbor fairly with righteous judgment.
Proverbs 22:2/Romans 2:11/1 Samuel 16:7b/Romans 10:12/Leviticus 19:15/John 7:24/Proverbs 2:2 NASB1995

🌹Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;

The Choice is Yours

Apr22

I (Jesus) have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.
John 12:46-48 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.12.46-48.NASB1995

Sep17

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
Ephesians 5:1 NASB1995

Becoming wholly undivided as God is.

Be (Become) merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.
Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
