0622 不变的审判法则
你们用什么量器量给人，也必用什么量器量给你们。《马太福音7:2》
这句陈述并不是随意的理论，而是神永恒的律法。无论你做出什么审判，将会是你被审判的方式。报复和惩罚是有区别的。耶稣说，生命的基础是惩罚——「你用什么量器量给人，也必用什么量器量给你。」如果你善于发现别人的缺点，请记住，这将是你被衡量的方式。你怎样付出，生活就会怎样回报你；这个永恒的律法从神的宝座一直到我们身上（见诗篇 18:25-26）。
罗马书 2:1 更明确地应用了这一点，说批评别人的人本身也有同样的过犯。神不仅看行为本身，还看犯罪的可能性，这是祂通过观察我们的内心而看到的。首先，我们不相信圣经的陈述。例如，我们真的相信这样的说法：我们批评别人的事，正是我们自己所犯的吗？我们之所以看到别人的虚伪、欺骗、不真诚，是因为它们都存在我于们自己的心里。圣徒最大的特征就是谦卑，显明在能够诚实谦卑地说：「是的，所有这些以及其它的邪恶，如果没有神的恩典，都会在我身上展现出来。因此，我没有权利去审判。」
耶稣说：「你们不要论断人，免得你们被论断。」（马太福音7:1）祂继续说，实际上是这样：「如果你们真的论断人，也必会受到同样的论断。」我们谁敢站在神面前说：「神啊，求你审判我，如同我审判别人一样」？我们审判别人是罪人——如果神以同样的方式审判我们，我们就会被定罪入地狱，然而，神是根据基督十字架的奇妙救赎来审判我们。

我们可能对神的观念像把熔化的铅倒入专门设计的模具中，那是极具危险性的，当它冷却凝固后，我们就把它扔到不同意我们观点的宗教人士的头上。《真的门徒》
0622 The Unchanging Law of Judgment
With what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. —Matthew 7:2
This statement is not some haphazard theory, but it is an eternal law of God. Whatever judgment you give will be the very way you are judged. There is a difference between retaliation and retribution. Jesus said that the basis of life is retribution— “with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” If you have been shrewd in finding out the shortcomings of others, remember that will be exactly how you will be measured. The way you pay is the way life will pay you back. This eternal law works from God’s throne down to us (see Psalm 18:25-26).
Romans 2:1 applies it in even a more definite way by saying that the one who criticizes another is guilty of the very same thing. God looks not only at the act itself, but also at the possibility of committing it, which He sees by looking at our hearts. To begin with, we do not believe the statements of the Bible. For instance, do we really believe the statement that says we criticize in others the very things we are guilty of ourselves? The reason we see hypocrisy, deceit, and a lack of genuineness in others is that they are all in our own hearts. The greatest characteristic of a saint is humility, as evidenced by being able to say honestly and humbly, “Yes, all those, as well as other evils, would have been exhibited in me if it were not for the grace of God. Therefore, I have no right to judge.”
Jesus said, “Judge not, that you be not judged” (Matthew 7:1). He went on to say, in effect, “If you do judge, you will be judged in exactly the same way.” Who of us would dare to stand before God and say, “My God, judge me as I have judged others”? We have judged others as sinners— if God should judge us in the same way, we would be condemned to hell. Yet God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.

It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don’t agree with us. Disciples Indeed, 388 R
