Matthew 7:1-4 Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, Let me remove the speck in your eye; and look a plank is in your own eye.
1 Corinthians 5:12-13 For what have I to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
James 2:8-9 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the scripture “you shall love your neighbor as yourself you do well. But if you show partiality you commit sin. And are convicted by the law as transgressors.
James 1:25-26 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one is blessed in what he does. If anyone among you thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.
Lord I thank You for shining Your light on our sins. In Jesus name help us, lead us, heal us, and please forgive us. Lord all Your ways are just and perfect. Thank You for remembering we are but dust. Raise up a desire in Your people to truly return to Jesus the way the truth and the life. A desire for Your Word.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, peace, joy, goodness, kindness, long suffering, and self control. Lord this doesn’t feel good right now but help us to trust You to bring real goodness and lasting change. In Jesus name amen
