As we've been discussing this week, the issue of judging other people. It's one thing our culture says we're not supposed to do as they feel the complete liberty to judge Christians all the time. What they really are trying to say is that Christians should not judge anybody else ever.

Because Christians state that people are wrong and the culture doesn't want to be told that. But they have no problem telling Christians they're wrong. That's the hypocrisy of it. The very thing we talked about yesterday with hypocritical judgment.

But here's the question. As Christians, are we commanded to judge others? In fact, the answer to that is yes. Yes, we are. In John 7 24, Jesus is speaking and he says, Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.

The Command to Judge According to God's Word

Now the word judge there is an imperative in the Greek. That means it's a command. Jesus is commanding us to judge with a right judgment. What's the issue? He's saying, in an imperative, do not judge by appearances, but in an imperative, judge with right judgment.

He does command us to judge by right standards and does command us not to judge by wrong standards. In other words, we don't judge by the appearance of things, but we judge according to the Word of God.

So we hold up the Word of God and say, Thus says the Lord. It is okay to judge what others are doing because we're looking at what they're doing and comparing it to God's Word. That's the standard that we're commanded to judge by.
