Love is proven not by how we treat our friends, but how we treat those who oppose us. — Matthew 5:46-47
God loves those who deserve to be judged, so if we’re loved by God (i.e., we know God’s love), we prove it by whether or not we judge others (i.e., find fault with them rather than being merciful). We’re not even to judge our own self. We are to evaluate ourself and leave all final judgments to be made by God.
