Salvation By Grace

• From Truth for Life “Measure for Measure, Part One B”
• Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;”
• We must strive to be loving and non-critical
• censorious – harshly critical
• “If all that we say in a single day, with never a word left out, were painted each night in clear black and white, it would prove queer reading no doubt. He continues,  “And then just suppose, ere our eyes we would close, we must read the whole record through. Then wouldn’t we sigh, and wouldn’t we try, a great deal less talking to do?  And I more than half think that many a kink, would be smoother in life’s tangled thread, if half that we say in a single day, were left forever unsaid.”
• Before we talk let us ask:

1. is it kind? (Proverbs 18:8)
2. is it true? (10 commandments)
3. is it necessary? (Proverbs 11:13)
