If we judge others we have no time to love them.

A question that is often asked by sincere believers is whether the Christian life is entirely the work of the Holy Spirit, or whether Christians themselves bear responsibility for their own conduct. The Holy Bible gives a clear and balanced answer: both are true.

LUKE 7:36-50 Pastor Joseph leads worship and preaches about Jesus dinner at the home of Simon the Pharisee. Jesus accepted an invitation to dine at the home of Simon the Pharisee. During the meal, a woman known for her sinful life came to Jesus, wept at His feet, wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with expensive perfume. Simon silently judged both the woman and Jesus, but Jesus responded with a parable about two forgiven debtors, teaching that those who have been forgiven much love much. He contrasted the woman’s humble devotion with Simon’s lack of hospitality, forgave the woman’s sins, and declared, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” The account demonstrates that salvation comes through faith, genuine repentance, and God’s grace—not through self-righteousness.
