Only One Judge

by Alistair Begg

James 4:11–12
 (ID: 2594)

Slander and passing judgment are almost inseparable sins: when we speak against our brother, we inevitably judge him. When we are tempted to pass judgment, an honest look at our own sinfulness should cause us to pause. The more we know our own hearts, the more gracious we become towards others. Alistair Begg reminds us that ultimately, only God can judge in absolute fairness and with perfect authority.
