What is Judging?
Jesus Says “Judge Not”
Hebrews 4:12, Matthew 7:1-5, 1 Sam 16:7
The Lord Jesus commands: You do not decide the heart of a person and what God should think of and do with another person.
Whatever you decide is a person’s heart and what God should think, do or allow Satan to do to a person based on your own attitude about them is what God assigns to happen to you (sometimes indirectly). Matthew 12:37
When we look on the outward at a person and make conclusions about their heart we step into a place that only God holds and you are proving that your own ideas (applying them to another person) are righteousness. WARNING: God always judges us by our own righteousness against the standard of His Son, Jesus Christ.
ABOUT JUDGING
- Do not do false-accusations in your heart about a person(s). We love people as Jesus has loved us and the Lord never has any lying, false accusations about us from looking on the outside at our actions.
- Jesus’ words discern people. What is in our heart where no one else can see — only Jesus, the Father, and His invisible Holy Spirit knows the TRUTH. What a person is thinking and intending (Hebrews 4:12) is hidden by God from any of us (except when revealed by the gifts of the Holy Spirit described in 1 Corinthians 12).
- To hold a person accountable to and for their behavior, and for its effect on others according to the word of God is never judging. That loving correction (accountability) is what Jesus has done and continues to do to every person (Matthew 18:14-20)

Thank you for this great glossary! It is really helpful. I enjoyed so much the “news” on what is judging.
