We should judge righteously. To judge righteously is to judge only the surface of what you see. This is non-condemning. Your judging is that of character judgment. Their conduct is your guide for giving the judgment warning of the coming wrath. This is your guide to determining whether or not they exhibit the things Father expects. If they do not, you judge them as having zeal for God, but not according to truthful knowledge. Because they disregarded the righteousness from Father and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to Father’s righteousness. Your judgment calls have nothing to do with the soul’s outcome.
Leave the judging of the soul’s fate to Christ. To judge others as Christ judges, is to judge yourself in adverse judgment that will result in losing out on the kingdom prize.
Matthew 7:1- 2 “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Are you judging them if you point out wrong conduct? And if they refuse to accept the truth of the matter, is their blood upon your hands if you do not warn them of impending destruction on those that reject the truth? But what if you warn them of Father’s judgment and His wrath, and they continue in their loose conduct? Have you not done all you can do? But, did you pass judgment upon them, or did you more aptly warn them of a judgment that awaits those that reject the truth?
Let your desire and prayer be for their salvation, even as you cleanse your hands of their blood by deferring the judgment to me as you warn them of the coming judgment and wrath.
Romans 10: 1-3 “Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God concerning them is for their salvation! I can testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. Because they disregarded the righteousness from God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness.”
His heart’s desire and prayer to Father was for their salvation. He did not judge them, but he knew they were not of the righteousness given by Father. Why so? Because they had not submitted to Father. He knew them by their works, but he did not judge them.
