Judgey Part 2: Not Holy Enough We think we are justified in our judgements, just because people happen to sin differently than we do. To think that there are sins that you are incapable of doing, and then to judge others for them, is a dangerous place to sit. We shouldn’t be judgey towards others because we are not holy enough. Only God is Holy Enough. God is the only truly righteous, holy judge. (1 Samuel 2 v2; Psalm 77 v13, 99 v9; Isaiah 5 v6.) The most central attribute of God is His holiness. When we judge someone unjustly, you and I are trying to do a job we are completely unqualified to do. WHY are We Judgey? When we judge someone from our sinful place our motives are often wrong.
