How do we know that we should not judge others?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible commands a balance in judgment, discouraging a hypocritical and censorious attitude while promoting righteous discernment.

In this teaching from Matthew 7, Jesus makes it clear that while judgment is necessary, it must be tempered with self-awareness and humility. He warns against a judgment that is hypocritical, where one fails to examine their own faults while being quick to point out the faults of others. It's essential for Christians to discern right from wrong, but that discernment should be accompanied by a spirit of compassion and understanding, ensuring that one's desire to correct or condemn does not stem from a critical heart but rather from love and concern for their neighbor's spiritual welfare.
