TEXT: John 3:17.
“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
The way some Christians go about their business, you will assume what they have received from the Lord is the ministry of condemnation. Beloved, this is strictly the devil's prerogative, don't have a share in it.
Revelation 12:10 says,
“For the accuser of our brethren… has been cast down, who accused them before our God day and night.” —
As children of God, we must never forget the nature of the kingdom we belong to. *Christ came not to condemn, but to save. His mission was to lift the fallen, heal the broken, and restore the lost. If we claim to follow Him, our words and actions should reflect His heart of mercy and grace.*
It is easy to point fingers at others, to highlight their weaknesses, or to remind them of their failures. But that is not the ministry God has given us. The ministry of condemnation does not belong to the believers—it belongs to the enemy. The Bible calls Satan “the accuser of the brethren.” When we engage in constant negative and destructive criticism, judgment, or gossip about our brothers and sisters, we are unknowingly aligning ourselves with the work of the enemy.
But praise be to God—Christ has given us a better ministry: the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). Instead of accusing, we are called to intercede. Instead of condemning, we are called to restore. Instead of tearing down, we are called to build up.
*Our words can either be tools in the hands of God to heal, or weapons in the hands of the devil to wound.* Every time we’re tempted to condemn someone, let’s choose instead to pray for them, encourage them, and remind them of who they are in Christ.
*God has called us to lift others up not to tear them down. Do what you have been called to do.*
*BIBLE READING* :
