Jesus is warning about critical attitudes and of usurping God’s role as the final judge.

“This teaching of Jesus is widely misunderstood. A common reduction we often hear is, “Don’t judge me.” What’s interesting is that this reduction is the inverse application of Jesus’s lesson. Jesus is not telling others not to judge us; he’s telling us not to judge others. What others do is not our primary concern; what we do is our primary concern. Our biggest problem is not how others judge us, but how we judge others.” – Jon Bloom

When we judge we say to God, “Deal with me as I deal with this person.”
