You Knit Me
The Psalmist writes,
I say this particularly when it comes to where we will spend eternity. No human being can say where another human being will spend eternity.
Jesus said,
Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Matthew 7:1,2.
The apostle Paul wrote,
“What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?
God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” 1Corinthians 5:12,13
Believers in Christ Jesus have no right to judge anyone outside their own faith. Even when judging those inside their faith it is only with respect to what someone is teaching. We have the right to judge what a person is teaching to see if they are indeed teaching the truth about Jesus.
We do not have the right to say where a person will spend eternity.
Tony Campolo the American evangelist said,
“We ought to get out of the judging business. We should leave it up to God to determine who belongs in one arena or another when it comes to eternity. What we are obligated to do is to tell people about Jesus, and that's what I do.” Tony Campolo.
This if you are truly a believer in Christ Jesus is what you are suppose to do.
Jesus told us,
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Matthew 28:18-20.
If you claim to be a follower of Christ Jesus are you doing this?
Please think about it.
The Psalmist writes,
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.”
Psalm 139:13-16.
The way I see the above portion of Scripture is this. God knows our very DNA. He knew us as we were being formed in our mothers womb. As a result God knows why we are the way we are. As a result God and only God has the right to judge anyone.I say this particularly when it comes to where we will spend eternity. No human being can say where another human being will spend eternity.
