So here I bring some of the stuff that Romans 2 inspired in me as I read it… enjoy:
- Romans 2: 1- 3
Judging. I fully agree with the Bible. “Thou shall not Judge” Luke 6: 37. It’s made plain that God would have us not judge people. The more you judge, the harsher you make your judgment. I do it sometimes. I like to see wrong in people and notice it. Because a lot of the times it’s there! Their wrong is staring you right in the face. What I believe God is saying here is this: Don’t condemn someone because you see them doing wrong right now; That God’s task. But here’s what you shouldn’t do either. Don’t use the excuse of not judging people to not point out to someone that they’re living wrong. Matthew 7: 16.You may be the Key to someone’s salvation.
- Romans 2:6-10
This weird is also pretty plain. He says we’re building up our eternities right now. Every action will be accounted for. Simple and plain is the fact. God will reward good with eternal life and evil with eternal death. Which do we choose? And these verses describe these two ends simply and precisely. It’s almost mathematical:
Good = life
Evil =death
- Romans 2:11-15
I love this part. It places all humans at the same level. We’re all supposed not meet the same criteria. God won’t look for only the humility in someone and forget about their greed and for another person look at their kindness and forget about their lust. We’re all supposed to meet the same standards. And these standards are not dependent on how much we know the Law. Hosea 4:6. Also, knowing the law does not in any way qualify us for life. It’s the lack of obedience to the law that He punishes. And He’s justified because he’s written his law on our hearts. He’s given us conscience and the Spirit.
- Romans 2:17-24
I find a little bit of this bit in me. I know God has great plans for me. He’s even told me about them. But I don’t necessarily do the things he wants me to do. Gradually I’m changing because God is giving me the Strength. I know he’s going to take me from a position like the one described here, where I don’t always do what I preach even though I know what is right, and he’ll put me in a place where I am totally, completely and absolutely for him. He will do it for me… he will do it for you too… Thank you God for what you are doing and are going to do. I love you!
Until next time I leave you grace to walk… in Royal Stepz…
