Most of us are familiar with the saying, โThe exception that proves the rule.โ That is, when something out of the ordinary happens, it โprovesโ the ordinary (the rule) exists. We can even apply this idea to personal behavior.
The biblical character David is an example of an exception proving the rule. The Bible characterizes him as a man after Godโs heart who lived to do Godโs will. Yet there was a dramatic exception to the rule when he was involved in adultery and murder. The question then arises whether to judge David by the exception or by the rule. And the same question applies when we judge others. Do we judge them by the exception or by the rule? We can answer that question by remembering how God looks at usโnot at our sins but at our standing in Christ.
If you are tempted to judge another by the exception rather than the rule of faithfulness in their life, remember how God looks at you.
