Judge Ourselves
Do You Judge Yourself, Or Others?
We are called to judge ourselves lest we be judged with the world. (1 Cor. 11:31–32)
Paul says this to believers.
So what does he mean?
He means current earthly judgement and eternal judgement.
Because if you think you are saved and you think you don’t sin.
You need to check yourself. The fact is that the closer we get to God the more we see our sinfulness in thought and deed.
John says that if you say you have no sin you’re a liar and the truth (Jesus) is not in you. (1 John Chapter 1)
Fact.
This is not only talking about Salvation. But, our walk in Christ as well. We can be judged or chastened in this world, and still be saved. (Hebrews Chapter 12)
So we judge ourselves and confess our sins to get our feet washed, even after salvation. When we walk in this world we get dirty. Confessing our sins to God is judging ourselves. It is when Christ washes our feet.
If we do not, then we risk falling into judgement with the world. God will protect us if we are saved. But if we step outside that protection we could have a problem.
