1 Corinthians 4:1-3 - This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. In fact, I do not even judge myself.
Titus 1:7-8 - For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.
Romans 11:25 - Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
Application:
· Am I blameless? Am I overbearing, quick-tempered or given to drunkenness? Am I violent? Do I pursue dishonest gain?
· Does God’s merciful plan to include me in His great salvation plan humble me or fill me with arrogance?
· My judgment is human and my conscience may be mistaken. Only God is fully qualified to judge.
