Christians are forgiven, not perfect. As we grow in the Lord, we’ll face situations that might spark old habits or ways of dealing with them, but as we study the Bible to know Jesus, the fruits of His Spirit will lead us (love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness, faith, and self-control). When we criticize or judge others—even though they are in the wrong—we don’t draw them to Jesus; we send them further away. Jesus was merciful with us before we accepted Him as our Savior, so let’s treat others the same way. Let’s show them God’s love with patience and speak words of kindness, so they can see God in us and want to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
