Spurgeon on Judging Others

The Gospel is so very attractive in so many different ways. It is impossible to take in all its glory at one go.


Each believer is attracted to certain aspect of its beauty. Whatever it may be that first attracted a sinner to Christ Jesus, let that be the platform or anchor point from which the full glory of the Gospel can be gradually revealed by the Holy Spirit. And who can set a time line or schedule as to how much and how soon that should be done? Let the Triune God do His work according to His time and season for His thoughts are way above ours!

Remembering always that I am the object of Jesus’ earthy walk and I have been saved by the same precious blood.

To look at the behavior of a believer and hastily conclude that a fellow believer has not been saved is saying that the precious blood of Jesus could not save him. If that is the case, I shiver at the thought that the same precious saving blood might not have saved me too!

And to look at an unbeliever and judge him condemned is to say that the purpose of Jesus’ earthly walk has not been fulfilled. Again, I tremble as the thought that if Jesus could not fulfill His purpose in that unbeliever, perhaps the same purpose has not been fulfilled in me!

I shall be saved even as they!

Could I not remember how I was first called by His Grace? Was it not at a time when I was at the peak of rebellion and lawlessness? And yet the hope of salvation has already taken shape in me then. How then can I be sure that the same is not happening in the life of that unbeliever right now?! How was the Apostle Paul called?

Therefore to judge and condemn others is really to judge and condemn myself! Let’s not judge others!
