1 Corinthians 2:15 “But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.”
If to study
This chapter teaches us so much about our knowledge,
understanding, and wisdom of God and His word. We understand that everything from
God is a gift and God gives His gifts in diverse ways to His children. 1 Cor.
12:1 – 11 will teach us more about this. But to us who are blessed with God’s gifts
of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of God and His word. We are responsible
for those teachings, to grow in them, to decern them, and to walk in them. Everyone,
from the Pastor down are to spiritually know, understand and in wisdom how to
properly decern biblical truths. And one of those teachings is to “spiritual
judgeth all things”. Not somethings, not things we think of, not things with
human understanding, but things taught by God in His word. Once we step outside
of those guidelines, we have failed God. Everything we judge must be judged in
LOVE, with the love God gives us and not human love. Since our understanding of
God’s giving of gifts to each believer, our judgment must be with much caution.
Because another believer may not understand spiritually or be as spiritually
smart as you are. We must remember that only God can truly teach another
believer and cause them to decern the scriptures. God went on to say “…yet he
himself is judged of no man.” Because we do not know the workings of God in
every believer’s spiritual life, or even what God is doing in our life. We only
know and understand what God is showing us, we do not know the mind of God. Our
judging others must be with much love and understanding of what God is doing,
and this takes much prayer. Please understand, God is judging us on our action
as we are judging His other children. Especially as Pastors and church members.
Let us never stop studying, praying, learning, and walking in that spiritual
education, because we do not want to fail God.
