2 Timothy 2:24-26 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
We’re living in a time where people, who feel like doing whatever they please, like to say, “you can’t judge me.” We’re not judging anyone but with gentleness and love, we’re informing our brothers and sisters about their unholy ways.
If we’re driving 70mph in a 50mph zone, we may get pulled over by an officer for exceeding the speed limit. That officer is not judging us. They’re simply informing us (verbally or with a citation) the error in our ways.
With God leading us, we should inform our brothers and sisters regarding the error in their ways. We should inform them it’s not okay to sleep with women they’re not married to and it’s not okay to gossip about another person.
Now, a religious person would feel comfortable stopping at this point. They would feel good about telling someone else about their faults, but we must inform them about the whole truth. We must inform them that although they’ve slept with numerous women or gossiped about others, God still loves them, He’s not angry with them, and the blood Jesus has forgiven them. We should let them know a holy lifestyle has far more benefits than an unholy lifestyle.
Let’s be honest informants by telling them the complete truth in love.
