Judgment by appearance is one of the greater sins within the Body of Christ. The sins of smoking and drinking are easily condemned however the greater sins of judging and condemning has become accepted and at some levels embraced. If one does not have a place of brokenness in their lives as a reference of who they really are they will become self righteous and judge with little accuracy the lives of others. The thought that one life has greater value than another has made the church the most segregated place to visit every Sunday morning. Knowing who you really are without the blood of Jesus gives you the grace to accept who God accepts and to get the 2x4 out of your own eye. We never judge with accuracy.
