Judgement

For the past few months I've been going to a new church here, and literally, my life has been changed by it.
The motto  "No judging, no politics, just Jesus" is so refreshing in itself that I couldn't not try it out. I've never learned more in 6 weeks of church in my life.

I've never liked giving off the image that i'm one of those crazy jesus freaks who are all about talking the talk, judging everyone else around them for making mistakes, and then making those same ones, and pulling the "I'm saved by jesus so it's all good.." card.
Those kind of christians made me wanna go bury my face in a hole. 

I legit hated those kinds of people. Whenever I would go to my churches youth group all I could see was a bunch of hypocritical "christians". I would go and complain to my friends about how fake everyone there was, tearing their character apart because I was convinced that their faith was make believe. Then I would go swear up a storm, and gossip about whoever came to mind.


Through trying to stay away from being a hypocrite I became one. The worst kind of all,the hypocrite who judges everyone else for being a hypocrite...

I've learned so much about true christianity at my new church. I've learned that
God didn't send his son to judge, but to save.
Being a christian isn't about trying to be perfect, it's about knowing we're imperfect and accepting His grace and mercy.

Galations 2:21 says "...For if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing." 


Sinning is the only way we can ever be saved. Why judge others for making mistakes, when we're everything but perfect? 
We can never measure up. But He saved us from the law. Jesus is the liberating king of all, He freed us from the judgment, and anchors our hearts with compassion and unconditional grace and love.

This world is hopeless. We are hopeless people, just look around. All we do is fight, cry, gossip and save face. We judge everyone around us and make the same mistakes.

 If He is unconditionally loving toward us, why not at least give others some slack? Lord knows how much slack i've been given over the years. Jesus forgives no matter what, he loves no matter what, he transforms every ready heart. Judging gets us no where, but love- His love- gets us everywhere, from person to person and all the way to heaven.


I'm done judging.
