🔸️ Do not judge others! But need spiritual awakening! 🔸️

When Paul instructed us not to judge others before the time of the Lord's coming (1Corinthians 4:5), he made it clear about, for what we should not judge. 1)Hidden in the dark. That is, an intimate life invisible to human beings, such as thoughts. 2)Ideas of the heart. That is, the hidden motives that occupying in one’s heart (verse 5). Yes, Christ will judge them in the last day. Therefore, before Christ comes and before the time, let us be careful not to judge any one's hidden heart motives!!  

Since there is no good in our flesh, we are the ones who create the worst impression as possible as we can, by seeing the activities of those around us. In those situations, we are tempted to form evil thoughts within ourselves rather than good thoughts. Because of this, we are commanded never to judge the 'hidden life' of others, which can be judged only by the Lord!

Though Jesus said in Matthew 7:1-5 not to judge others in this way, He also said in verses 15-16 that "beware of false prophets." Here, the next part of the truth that Jesus teaching us is 'discern clearly and judge.'  

Jesus also advised to look out their "fruits" in order to reason. Yes, we can know nothing about their mental intentions and thoughts. We must entrust them to the Lord who judges the unseen. 

Is a man, a true prophet? or a false prophet? We should be rational in finding out, based on the outwardly seen 'fruits' in them. It is the desire of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer:

Our Loving Father! You are the one, who judges the mental intentions of others! May we stay away from it and give us the grace to know spiritual things with a clear mind! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
