When you tear someone down, it is displeasing in the eyes of the Lord. The Bible wrote, “ who dares to accuse us who God has chosen for His own (Romans 8: 33.34). God is the one who has given us and everyone else a right standing with Himself when we invite Him unto our lives.
There is no telling of us being perfect and there is no bad qualities of others that we could bring to the Lord without Him already knowing it full well. By devaluing, judging and tearing someone down, we are questioning the One who has redeemed them. Our demeaning judgements imply that the Lord made a mistake redeeming such sinner and the Lord needs to know the bad of this undeserving person.
As a new creation in Christ, we too were sinnners, undeserving yet redeemed by the blood of Christ. Our lives are stories of undeserving grace so who are we to judge others. Our attitude should be of the one of helpfulness, forgiveness and understanding. God is the fair judge, let Him do what He is at best and as we have been pardoned by Him , let us extend grace and not judgement.
James 4: 12
God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?
