Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Matthew 7:1:
Matthew 7:1-5
Excerpted from: When Actions Contradict Stated BeliefsSo Jesus' statement, "Judge not" is a rebuke to the hypocritical, judgmental attitude that tears others down to build oneself up. It is not a blanket statement against all critical thinking, but a call to be discerning rather than negative. Give people the benefit of the doubt.
So Jesus tells us to examine our own motives and conduct instead of judging others. The traits that bother us in others are often habits we dislike in ourselves, and often our unbroken bad habits and behavior patterns are the ones we most want to change in others. Now if we are ready to criticize someone, we must check to see if we deserve the same criticism. We should judge ourselves first and then lovingly forgive and help our neighbor.
