Judgement – more than
anything else – steals our true God-given identity, who he created
us to be. Because we become what we judge.
Romans 2:1 says, “You,
therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else,
for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself,
because you who pass judgment do the same things.” Did you catch
that? To say it another way, “You do the same thing you judge the
other person for doing.” So when we judge, we will start doing that
thing we judged. God's word cannot be broken.
God didn't create us to
be what we're judging. That's not our true identity at all. Nowhere
in the Bible is judging on the list of spiritual gifts. No one has
the gift of judgment or criticism. So judging is the great identity
stealer – it turns us into something we were never meant to be.
