Romans 2:1 (ESV)

Therefore, you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.

Humility and humbleness are essential qualities for anyone striving to walk the path of righteousness. Jesus, though the Son of God and flawless in every respect, chose to serve others rather than seek recognition or status. Throughout his ministry, Jesus spent time with those whom society considered the lowest—sinners and outcasts. Despite their reputations, he never disparaged or demeaned them. Instead, he shared meals with tax collectors, provided for those in need without passing judgment, and even offered an adulteress woman the “living water” before she confessed her sins.

To be a genuine disciple of Christ, we must first acknowledge our own sinfulness. It is only through God’s grace and love that we are saved, not by any merit of our own. Therefore, we should refrain from judging others, remembering the teaching to “not judge others lest ye be judged.” We are called to remove the plank from our own eye before attempting to take the speck from another’s. True followers of Jesus demonstrate love by accepting others despite their faults and serving them wherever and whenever possible, just as God loves us. This is the way disciples fulfill the command to love God—by loving their neighbors.
