You see a man begging for food.
Do you first ask him if he is a Christian? Or a Muslim? Or a Jew? Or a Buddhist? No. You simply supply him with what you have. This, because we are called to love one another.
So what changes, when we begin to judge one another. What happens to love.

Matthew 25:40
40
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

What happens is, our reliance on our knowledge of good and evil, is incomplete without Love's truth. So we react by what we know, and judgement occurs. If we only acted of faith in the truth within us, the Holy Spirit would place on our hearts the perfect knowledge; eternal wisdom.
Prides like religious, nationalism, race, culture, society, wealth, influence, even sexual preference; all deny the truth, and therefore deny the will of God. These are all worldly prides, that do not put the Father first.

Romans 12:16
16
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
---
We do not love for the sake of gain. We love because we want to show God we can be servants that can honor His will. There is a humility in this. We do not give in ways that will bring honor to ourselves from others. We give without thought of self. Selfless.
Even our enemy, or those who consider themselves our enemy, we love. This, because the truth is in us of faith. And the sins of mankind were atoned for, so that all could be witness to the love of the Father. Christ honored the Father by doing the Father's will. We, do the same, even to the point of death.

Matthew 5:39
39
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
---
It is ours to serve others lovingly. We do not judge by our knowledge of good and evil, because none of us our righteous; not one. Our love of one another is done with a sincerity, as we do for others as we would have done for us. And our hearts and minds are open to the Father, He knows when we are sincere, when we show restraint because our faith is in the commandments of our mediator.
Human pride and judgement do not have room for truth. Although they proud claim love and claim righteousness; it is just a empty claim. What the proud love is self. And what the judgemental love is self. That love may be of the kingdom, but it is used in shameful ways. And the sheep will be separated from the goats. And there will be grinding and gnashing of teeth.
Love. Pray. And be fearful of the one who can destroy the body and the soul. Live, knowing you loved, because God loved you first.

Matthew 11:28-30
28
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
---
Allow the love of the Father to serve others through you.
