1 Corinthians 11:31
1 Corinthians 11:31
For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
Self-reflection is a powerful tool that helps us align with God’s will. Instead of focusing on judging others, this verse encourages us to examine our own hearts. When we judge ourselves with honesty and humility, we become more aware of our weaknesses and areas needing improvement. This introspection prevents us from being judged by others and brings us closer to God’s wisdom. God values self-awareness and calls us to accountability, not only to avoid the judgment of others but to grow in righteousness. By cultivating humility and acknowledging our shortcomings, we open ourselves to God’s grace and wisdom. Practicing self-reflection helps us maintain a humble heart, which pleases God and allows His light to guide us in our daily lives.
Romans 14:12
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
James 4:11
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
Matthew 7:1
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
