—Matthew 7:1-5
by: Victoria Shephard.
Many unbelievers point to this verse as “proof” that we are not to judge how they act or what they do. Are they right? Can we not judge anything?
We must read these verses with the rest of Matthew 7 in mind. Verses 15-23 tell us to judge by “fruit.” We can see someone’s outer actions and judge whether it is in keeping with God’s word or not.
