Taking our walk with God serious

Text : Matthew 25:41-46
Our judgment against another person's life is completely polarized in thinking. If
we condemn another, then we're acting as if a sinner can't grow beyond their
own evils to obtain a pure heart in Christ. How then can we grow beyond our
own borders if we don't believe anyone else can. If you feel that young man
shouldn't have been repaid with kindness, then consider your own mistakes.
You don't deserve God's unconditional love, but He gives it to you anyway to
save you, cherish you, and redeem you, even though His Son had to die because
of your sin. If He didn't die, then you'd never have any hope to be saved from
eternal judgment and hell. It is NOT God's desire to send men to hell; hence He
died to save you.
Jesus, as a perfectly just judge, will rid the world of evil and bless the good. If
we are the center of that evil, with no regard for the Highest Authority or love
for others, what then is left for us? We must love God, follow His Spirit, live
daily for His purpose, and love one another, even those who grieve us. But that
Jesus doesn't want to condemn men is evident. For He said that He will judge
thus:
"Then He will also say to those on the left hand, "Depart from Me, you cursed,
into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry
and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a
stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and
in prison and you did not visit Me." Then they also will answer Him, saying,
"Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in
prison, and did not minister to You" Then He will answer them, saying,
"Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of
these, you did not do it to Me." And these will go away into everlasting
punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matthew. 25:41-46)
