Thought of the Day !!

So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.
Romans 14:13 (NLT)


Have you ever been in a situation where others around you are talking about someone else, condemning them for something they’ve done? Maybe you’ve been part of the condemning party. We often find it easy to see the wrong someone else has committed, while forgetting all the wrongs in our own lives.

The Bible teaches that if someone is sinning, we should confront the person. It also teaches us to do so in love and gentleness. But often is the case that someone has something in their past that they’ve done wrong. They’ve messed up. It may have been a one-time mistake or a habitual lifestyle. In these cases, we must remember that If Jesus is to forgive our many mistakes, then we must forgive others, not condemning them for the past.

In the love of Christ,
greg
