    The Undeviating test

    Friday, June 22, 2012, 12:20 PM [General]

    "For with what judgement ye judge,ye shall be judged;and with what mete(measure) ye mete,it shall be measured to you again." Matthew 7:2. This statement is not a haphazard guess,it is an eternal law of God.Whatever judgement you give,it is measured to you again.There is a difference between retaliation and retribution.Jesus says that the basis of life is retribution--"with what mete ye measure,it shall be measured  to you again." If you have been shrewd in finding out the defects of others,remember that will be exactly the measure given to you.Life serves back in the coin you pay.This law works from God's throne downwards.(Psalm 18:25-26). Romans 2 apllies it in a still more definite way,and says that the one who critizes another is quilty of the very same thing.God looks not only at the act,He looks at the possibilty.We do not believe the statements of the Bible to begin with.For instance,do we believe this statement,that the things we criticize in others we are quilty of ourselves? The reason we see hypocrisy and fraud and unreality in others is because they are all in our own hearts.The great characteristic of a SAINT is HUMILTY--YES,all those things and other evils would have been manifested in me but for the GRACE OF GOD,therefore I have no right to judge.Jesus says--"judge not,that ye be not judged"; if you do judge,it will be mete to you exactly as you have judged.Who of us would dare to stand before God and say--"MY GOD,JUDGE ME AS I HAVE JUDGED MY FELLOW MEN?"We have judged our fellow men as SINNERS;if God should judge us like that we would be in HELL.God judges us through the MARVELOUS ATONEMENT OF JESUS CHRIST.
