Luke 6:37-38
37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
How and what we give to others is how we receive it back, whether directly from God or through others. So when people judge or condemn us, we should examine ourselves to see if we are passing sentence or mercy on others. When we are not reconciled with those who hold unforgiving grudges, do we look to see if we have not forgiven someone? God saved us by grace, forgiving and releasing us from eternal judgment; how can we not do likewise?
