Summary
Judging others is a sin, but judging yourself is even more of a sin. Why? Because when you judge others, you condemn yourself. Jesus says in Matthew 7:7, "Don't judge others with the same measure that you judge, you too will be judged."

Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360
If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.420
would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760
This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.860
to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:20.700
Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:30.000
Somebody who says, I didn't know there was a God.
00:00:36.660
and that would be a life that is absent of judgment.
00:00:41.120
He's saying, when you judge others, you condemn yourself.
00:00:49.940
It's a sin that's worth, that's not what he's saying.
00:00:53.040
Because the Bible teaches that we're called to make judgment.
00:00:55.960
The righteous man makes judgments about all things.
00:00:58.320
The spiritual man judges all things, yet he himself is subject to no man's judgment.
00:01:04.940
You might be thinking about, well, wait a second, the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapter 7.
00:01:08.420
Jesus says, don't judge others with the same measure that you judge, you too will be judged.
00:01:13.020
All that saying is not, hey, it's always wrong to judge.
00:01:16.520
All that saying is, as you judge, live up to the judgments you make.
00:01:21.940
Know that as you judge, with the very same measure that you judge others, you too will be judged.
00:01:31.440
out of your neighbor's eye, your brother's eye,
00:01:33.860
when you've got a two by four sticking out of yours.
00:01:45.520
he would say, take that two by four out of your eye
00:01:48.200
and go and remove the speck in your brother's also.
00:01:53.980
he's he's he's listing for his priorities he's not saying don't ever correct your brother
00:02:00.360
well we know that doesn't line up with scripture and so we make judgments even matthew chapter 7
00:02:06.200
don't judge the same measure you judge others you too will be judged the very next verse that's
00:02:11.640
one through five verses one through five matthew chapter seven the very next verse is don't cast
00:02:16.480
your pearls before swine well how do you obey that i mean first jesus is saying that some people
00:02:23.100
are swine let's just soak that in for a moment and then number two he's saying you need to know
00:02:29.320
who those people are which requires you to do what make a judgment that's right that's right
00:02:36.320
so so the modern american evangelical church is lying they're lying we do make judgments we make
00:02:45.680
judgments humbly we don't want to give in to the sin of judgmentalism that is self-righteous that
00:02:52.820
denies our own sin, our own need for the mercy and grace of God. But we also don't want to throw
00:02:58.820
the baby out with the bathwater and basically say that we can't ever correct anyone for anything.
00:03:04.560
That's insanity. And so we do judge rightfully, but these people, they're judging wrongfully.
00:03:12.480
And this is what Paul's saying in the very first verse. He's saying, you don't have an excuse.
00:03:16.320
Which excuse? The one you love to use the most. The one that says you're ignorant and therefore
00:03:21.340
innocence your ignorance makes you innocent you didn't know there was a god you didn't know there
0.93
00:03:26.420
was a universal standard of morality and so because you didn't know these things you can't
0.94
00:03:30.960
be held morally responsible for living in that way but here was your tell here's what you done
00:03:37.120
messed up aaron the problem is the problem is that you judge others and what does he say and
00:03:45.080
you practice the very same thing that you do meaning what the big deal is hypocrisy no that
00:04:05.480
You are admitting that you believe in morality.
00:04:11.720
You can't even live up to your own standard of morality.
00:04:22.800
You're using some standard for right and wrong,
00:04:28.280
And when people don't live up to your standard for morality,
00:04:34.620
You believe that there is actually such a thing
00:04:43.300
you can't even live up to your own skewed, false, unequal weights and measurement system of
00:04:51.740
morality. What on earth would make you think that you can stand before God?
00:04:57.660
