How Will We Live Impressions and judgement of people we don’t even know are fairly common. We might hear a rumor about someone, or just hear of someone’s actions. Judgement is very common, and it prevents many relationships. Whether it’s someone race, religion, hobbies or interest we form our opinions about that person, but we do not truly know that person.

In the gospel of Luke this is stated. “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” In gods eyes we are all equal, and we need to see our peers the same way. This is difficult to do, but through changing our world view we are able to. We need to recognize the big picture and understand God is the only person who can judge us. In order to live more faithful, we need to love and care for others instead of judge
