The Reality of Criticism and Judgement

 â€¢ Matthew Hippely â€¢ Series: James Vol.III - The Evidence of Submission and Strength

The destructive nature of criticism and judgment among Christians stems from selfish desires and personal passions. Speaking evil against fellow believers, whether through defamation, gossip, or criticism, violates biblical principles of humility and love. Pride often fuels criticism, placing human standards above God's word and creating an unhealthy sense of superiority. Christians are called to build each other up as family, relating with love and humility rather than tearing down through criticism.
