‘Receive And Believe.’
John 1:12-13.
a) This invitation is to all people.
b) Receive Jesus Christ.
c) Believe in His Name.
d) He alone gives us the right to become God’s Children.
e) These Children of God are not:-
1- Born by natural descent.
2- Born by human decision.
3- Born through the will of a human father.
f) These Children of God are born by the Will of God.
(This QT reminds me of these two important essentials: Receive And Believe)

‘Do Not Judge Other People.’
Matthew 7:1-5.
a) Matthew 7:1. If we judge other people we will also be judged.
b) Matthew 7:2. In the same way in which we judge other people we will be judged.
c) Matthew 7:2. With the same measure with which we judge other people judgement will be measured to us.
d) Matthew 7:3-4. We need to pay attention to the beam in our eye and not the splinter in our brother’s eye.
e) Matthew 7:5. If we do not deal with our own judgmental attitudes first we are hypocrites.
(This Second one strongly reasons with me: Do Not Judge Other People)
-----------------
Chris.
When we enter into judgement on other people we are often entering into the dangerous ground of religious legalism. We abuse God’s Word by making measures and judge other people with these measures. This is really not a good way to live and we need to repent of it if necessary.
