Love Doesn't Judge

Love doesn't judge. The law of men is not designed to forgive, but to judge, acquit or convict, and punish if convicted. And that's fine, because that's the only way we can keep order in society. However, the law of God is different. Once, some men brought to Jesus a woman caught in the act of adultery and as the law of Moses commanded to stone her, they asked Jesus: what do you say? And He said: All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone! All the accusers slipped away and Jesus said to the woman: Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you? No, Lord, she said. And Jesus said: Neither do I. Go and sin no more. Only God can see what is happening within our hearts and He forgives us when we repent. It is important to understand that for God repentance does not mean  remorse or admission of guilt. Repentance means deciding not to do it anymore and that is a decision made in the heart. This is so, because Jesus was condemned in our place and paid the maximun punishment and penalty, so that we could be forgiven just with repent. So great is the love of God for us.
