Love your neighbor as yourself. And then Jesus goes onto tell us our neighbor may even be our enemy. We should act in Grace and Love and leave the rest to Him. Reflecting His perfect nature is the best way to deflect unrighteousness. We shouldn't desire to reject others on some finding within our judgment. They will more than likely reject us IF we are acting in righteousness not compromising in sin. But that too is to be left to God. We do not know the heart of man, nor how God may deal with it at present or in the future. We mustn't limit the redeeming power of the Lord, by thinking that our puny intellect encompasses the mind of Christ!

Jesus counted Himself among the transgressors. He ate and fellowshiped with sinners. He didn't wait for them to come to Him, He went to them. He had a loving and inclusive attitude for mankind.

It's all about Grace! :)
