Go Ahead – Start Judging
Grown Ups Do It All the Time
Blogger’s Note: More smart stuff from The Bible In Context
So many are taught to just let God judge, but the Bible says we have an obligation to judge for our own spiritual safety.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 “Test ALL things; hold fast what is good.” This does not mean to only test what “they” allow you to. Because of our freedom in Christ we have a spiritual obligation to test what they say, just as the Bereans tested Paul in what he said, and he commended them.
The Bible says the Spiritual man judges all things (1 Cor. 2:15). If you don’t judge, then you are saying you are not spiritual. To judge or to discern means we have maturity and can recognize truth from error. This is of the utmost importance for us living in the last days. So, the problem is an obvious one, people cannot recognize the difference of error from the truth because they have not been taught the truth.
