When you encounter someone in sin, your role as a brother or sister in Christ is to help them be restored in love. This is done by pointing out their sin and then pointing them toward God's grace.
In my life, there have been a few people who have been able to restore me with humility. There have also been those who, instead of pointing out the sin and then pointing to God's grace, highlight my sin and showcase their "flawless" conduct. If I'm being honest, I’ve also been prideful at times when pointing out the sins of others. Just like the Pharisee who prayed, "God, I thank you that I am not like other men," I’m tempted to see the sins of others and then compare myself.
Judging others is tied to having an inflated self-image. It is easy to judge when we think we have no flaws, but we all have flaws, we all sin, and we are all prone to falling. That is why Paul tells us to think of ourselves with sober judgment, according to the grace God has given us.
All that we have and can do is given to us by God. Every aspect of our faith including repentance, belief, and self-control is a grace of God that we haven’t earned. Not everyone has the same measure of faith. If you are strong in a particular area, guess what—it’s because God has shown you grace. That’s a humbling truth. If God has shown us grace, shouldn’t we also show grace to others?
Recognizing this truth enables us to see the sin of others through different eyes. When our brother or sister is in sin, we should seek to restore them with a humble attitude instead of comparing ourselves.
Can you imagine the transformation that would occur in a community that does everything possible to restore brothers and sisters who are in sin?

Only God can judge me—not. Christians are also called to judge others with righteous judgment. But what does that mean? This 5-day plan will help you be fair in your judgment.
