We are not
to judge one another’s salvation; however, the actions of rioters and looters make
it clear they are not Christian. It’s not unusual to run into one, two, or a
handful of unbelievers in one place and at any one time, but it’s startling to
see a mob of people with no belief in Jesus Christ. Paul said “Therefore, as
God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each
other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive
as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on
love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the
peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were
called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and
as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to
God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it
all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him”
(Col 3:12-17 NIV).
