0622 不變的審判法則
你們用什麼量器量給人，也必用什麼量器量給你們。《馬太福音7:2》
這句陳述並不是隨意的理論，而是神永恆的律法。無論你做出什麼審判，將會是你被審判的方式。報復和懲罰是有區別的。耶穌說，生命的基礎是懲罰——「你用什麼量器量給人，也必用什麼量器量給你。」如果你善於發現別人的缺點，請記住，這將是你被衡量的方式。你怎樣付出，生活就會怎樣回報你；這個永恆的律法從神的寶座一直到我們身上（見詩篇 18:25-26）。
羅馬書 2:1 更明確地應用了這一點，說批評別人的人本身也有同樣的過犯。神不僅看行為本身，還看犯罪的可能性，這是祂通過觀察我們的內心而看到的。首先，我們不相信聖經的陳述。例如，我們真的相信這樣的說法：我們批評別人的事，正是我們自己所犯的嗎？我們之所以看到別人的虛偽、欺騙、不真誠，是因為它們都存在我於們自己的心裡。聖徒最大的特徵就是謙卑，顯明在能夠誠實謙卑地說：「是的，所有這些以及其它的邪惡，如果沒有神的恩典，都會在我身上展現出來。因此，我沒有權利去審判。」
耶穌說：「你們不要論斷人，免得你們被論斷。」（馬太福音7:1）祂繼續說，實際上是這樣：「如果你們真的論斷人，也必會受到同樣的論斷。」我們誰敢站在神面前說：「神啊，求你審判我，如同我審判別人一樣」？我們審判別人是罪人——如果神以同樣的方式審判我們，我們就會被定罪入地獄，然而，神是根據基督十字架的奇妙救贖來審判我們。

我們可能對神的觀念像把熔化的鉛倒入專門設計的模具中，那是極具危險性的，當它冷卻凝固後，我們就把它扔到不同意我們觀點的宗教人士的頭上。《真的門徒》
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
