Why we must not judge or accuse othersIf we fear and reverence God, we will not judge our spouses or others simply because they operate at a different level of spiritual light.
Accusing believers is holding hands with the devilRevelation 12 reveals that Satan is the accuser of believers, so when we accuse others, we are partnering with the devil and feeding on his accusations.
Judge yourself instead of othersFirst Corinthians 11:31 teaches that if we judge ourselves rightly now, we will escape being judged by the Lord on the final day.1 Corinthians 11:31
Busy bodies in other people's mattersFirst Peter 4:15 categorizes a busybody who oversees other people's affairs right alongside murderers, thieves, and evildoers.1 Peter 4:15
Delighting in the fear of the LordAccording to Isaiah 11, a person who delights in the fear of the Lord will not judge others, which serves as a test of whether we truly reverence God.Isaiah 11:2–3
How Jesus judged with supernatural discernmentJesus did not judge by outward appearances, but by the Holy Spirit saw repentant hearts in unlikely people like the thief on the cross and the woman caught in adultery.
Looking righteous on the outside versus the heartMany who look very holy on the outside may face hell, while seemingly wicked individuals can be qualified for God's kingdom because God looks at the heart.
Closing prayer for transformationThe speaker concludes with a prayer asking God to help everyone abandon judging and accusing others and instead grow in reverence and the fear of the Lord.
