Faith Test
If my faith doesn’t cause me to show more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control towards sinners, am I not just becoming a pharisee?
That is to say, we, the “enlightened ones,” are acutely aware of what the law prescribes. Are we therefore to put that burden on those around us, or are we to cast grace and the message of hope and forgiveness far and wide?
We should really consider for what issues we are prepared to judge others and cast the first stone.
There is a fundamental difference between giving people wise counsel on what (future) choices to make, based on Biblical principles, and judging people’s failures or wrong choices.
