“For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

The Bible is clear: no human is perfect. Every one of us has broken God’s law. Every one of us needs the salvation that only Jesus offers. That’s why Paul calls himself chief among the sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). And that’s why Jesus cautions us not to judge our brothers and sisters.

Judging or condemning is finger-pointing and accusing without offering hope and encouragement that comes with change (repentance).

Sharing the Gospel presents God’s voice on any given subject or behavior along with the hope that comes from repentance, accepting the gift of salvation, and living a life of faith.

Jesus never missed an opportunity to tell people to “… go and sin no more,” but in the same breath He offered salvation and hope in return for obedience and faith.

He still does. For you and for me. And He wants us to share that message with others — not by dwelling on what they are doing outside of Christ, but by focusing on the amazing life we can have with Him.
