We are not our own bosses to live or die as we ourselves might choose. Living or dying we follow the Lord. Either way we are his. Christ died and rose again for this very purpose, so that he can be our Lord both while we live and when we die.
You have no right to criticize your brother or look down on him. Remember, each of us will stand personally before the Judgment Seat of God.
Romans 14:7-10 TLB
There is much trouble in the world right now. If we really think we know why things are like they are, it is simply because we have taken responsibility for our own part in it. We can control only what we do. As we live, our job is to follow Christ to the Kingdom of God and look to the future He has promised when we die. We were not appointed to look at anyone else and determine where they fall short. That's God's business. He is the boss and He will handle His business.
