       We are not supposed to be thinking the worst of our fellow Christians, assuming they must be up to no good because all people inherently have the sin-nature. You see, often times when we have judged another in the past, we have found ourselves to be wrong. The problem is, when we have spoken negatively against the person, other people know about that. This creates a lot of problems. One, it shows that the accuser really isn’t as in tune with God or in tune with the behavior around him or her as much as he or she thought they were. Two, it shows that the accuser really doesn’t practice the Word of God because he or she is supposed to believe the best about everyone, as the Apostle Paul makes clear. Three, it hurts the image of the accused so that now the person has to overcome the artificial (or rather false) presentation that has been made about them. The great thing is, is that God is able to save those who are faithful to him, and he works to accomplish that.
