Matthew 7:1-14.
Matthew 7.1-14
Judging Others
Don't condemn others, and God won't condemn you. God will be as hard
on you as you are on others! He will treat you exactly as you treat
them. You can see the speck in your friend's eye, but you don't notice
the log in your own eye. How can you say, "My friend, let me take the
speck out of your eye," when you don't see the log in your own eye?
You're nothing but show-offs! First, take the log out of your own eye.
Then you can see how to take the speck out of your friend's eye. Don't
give to dogs what belongs to God. They will only turn and attack you.
Don't throw pearls down in front of pigs. They will trample all over
them.
Ask, Search, Knock
Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the
door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone
who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who
knocks. Would any of you give your hungry child a stone, if the child
asked for some bread? Would you give your child a snake if the child
asked for a fish? As bad as you are, you still know how to give good
gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to
give good things to people who ask. Treat others as you want them to
treat you. This is what the Law and the Prophets are all about.
The Narrow Gate
Go in through the narrow gate. The gate to destruction is wide, and
the road that leads there is easy to follow. A lot of people go
through that gate. But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that
leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
