Mt 7:1-5 no self- righteous judgment of others

God”™s words are practical applications of His intentions for people who follow Christ as their Savior and Lord. The following is an evaluation:

1) Are you living in the presence of God as you walk through your day?

2) Are you being salt (adding flavor to the lives of others)?

Are you a light to those who are living without knowing Jesus?

Have you chosen that narrow road which leads to life?

(those are God”™s words)

3) Do you believe that what Jesus has said will happen?

4) Are you keeping your personal relationships intact?

5) Are you aware that your personal relationships are your personal responsibilitybefore God?

6) Do you sacrificially love those neighbors who have been less than neighborly?

Have you evaluated your judgment of others?

If so, is it from an attitude of self-righteousness?
