Freedom In Christ 2

WOW! Freedom, TRUE FREEDOM!! There is nothing like being set free from things. Whether it be as small as being set free from a bad relationship, or as large as being set free from the control and tyranny of another country. Freedom is Awesome!

James 4 tells me that I am free from being someone else's judge. He says, (James 4:11-12 NCV) "Brothers and sisters, do not tell evil lies about each other. If you speak against your fellow believers or judge them, you are judging and speaking against the law they follow. And when you are judging the law, you are no longer a follower of the law. You have become a judge. {12} God is the only Lawmaker and Judge. He is the only One who can save and destroy. So it is not right for you to judge your neighbor."

That means I can take the responsibility off of me and give grace to others. Even those of other denominations. We may disagree on some doctrinal position, but I am the only one whom I can control. God will work out the details. But as for me, I will give the same unmerited favor I have been given. I will share in the dialogue with others, but I refuse to stand in judgment of them. I only want to exalt Christ and Him crucified! Boy that feels good to say!
