For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. —Matthew 7:2.
Jesus is concerned! He does not want us to have a critical spirit toward others — especially other brothers and sisters in Christ. He does not want us to judge their motives. After all, we can’t know another person’s heart; only God can. When we are unfairly critical, overly harsh, and unduly judgmental, we must remember that God will use that same standard on us that we have used on others. We need grace. So do those we love and those with whom we fellowship in Jesus. Plus, we am trying to win those who don’t know Jesus by treating and speaking to them “with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15). So, we will try very hard to be as gracious toward others as God has been gracious with us. This doesn’t mean we compromise on personal holiness; it just means we are motivated by love.
