For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. (Romans 12:3 ESV)
Dear Ones
Walking in this walk with Christ can bring one to a level of arrogance. Thinking as you "seem "to be sinless that you have a right to judge others as they walk, or struggle in sin. We must be careful because that too is sin. No one as they walk the narrow path is ever in a state of perfection or have arrived. If we are true to our Lord and ourselves we are a continual work in progress never reaching the end till we see the gates of Heaven.
We are to balance that with being sure we hold our brothers and sisters accountable and if we see sin in their lives loving them enough to share the Word with them to guide them back with truth, that is sober judgement.
In all this dear ones remember the measure of faith the Lord has given you and also remember the amount of forgiveness and grace He has granted for your sins.If you have been forgiven much should you not forgive much?
Lord help us to live according to this Word never to think ourselves better than another. Never to look down on another for their struggle or to remember that we each struggle differently and because we are in a certain place in the narrow path to not look at another with condemnation because they are not where you are. Help us to remember that the Truth may not have been revealed to them yet and God maybe using you to guide this soul.
Lord be with us and help us to live this truth.
In Jesus Name-Amen
