BALANCE
Luke 6:37
“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Command with a Promise
God's economy, His way of doing things, is always balanced. He is perfection and therefore everything that He instructs us to do is balanced and perfect. Here we are given three things to do in our lives, each with an associated promise. We are to not judge our fellow human, that is God's job. By doing this, we will not be judged. We are not to condemn others in order to not be condemned ourselves. And we are to forgive others so that we can reap the full benefits of God's forgiveness for our sins. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
