When we don’t please the people around us with our work, they may judge us. We must keep in mind that we have been called out. We should also lead distinct lives where others might not agree with our words and deeds.
They’ll evaluate us based on the quality of our work and offer criticism. However, we must constantly remind ourselves that we exist solely to please God. Because we will one day stand before his judgment. The children of God should be prepared to endure adversity while maintaining their faith.
Along with that, we must also show mercy to those who harm us. We are aware of the reality and are confident that if we show mercy to others, the Lord will do the same for us. To comprehend the eternal home we are awaiting, we, therefore, need a mind like Christ.
To get where we’re going, we should put God first and think about ourselves rather than other people. We shouldn’t pay attention to what others say about us, even if they are judging us. More attention should be paid to what the Lord says.
Here are a few Bible verses that can help us understand why we should avoid being judged unfairly by others. Let’s reflect on these and maintain our faith.
