What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Judge not, that you be not judged”? Many quote this verse, yet just a few sentences later Jesus says, “You will know them by their fruits.” How do these ideas fit together?
In this teaching, we explore the difference between condemning judgment, which Jesus forbids, and righteous judgment, which He commands in John 7:24. Christians are called to evaluate actions and fruit—not to pronounce guilt or decide someone’s spiritual fate. Only God sees the heart, understands each person’s life story, and knows how He is working with them.
Jesus Himself did not come to condemn the world but to save it (John 3:17). This message helps believers discern the balance between compassion, discernment, and humility when interacting with others.
