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.
Luke 6:41
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Romans 14:10
Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment.
Matthew 7:2
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Romans 14:4
Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall.
