God's Righteous Judgement
A Perception of Romans 2
I am surprised at how often I hear self-proclaimed Christians slinging curses.
I hear the condemnation of one for homosexuality, another for addiction, still another for promiscuity, or any other number of common afflictions.
What does Paul say in Romans 2?
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
This is literally the opening statement. You who pass judgement are condemning yourself.
Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
God understands why you've made the decisions you've made. Therefore God is the only one who is capable of accurate judgement.
So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
What this sounds like to me is that if you judge others you invite divine judgement upon yourself.
Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
God's mercy is meant to be an example, not only a blessing. Look inside your own heart for your own wrongs and spare the judgement for One who is capable.
But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
Every time you judge someone you invite the Wrath of God.
More coming soon. Stay Tuned.
