DAILY DROP OF WATER

(Rom 2:3)  “And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?”  Pride says, “I am the exception to the rule.”  Friend, there are “no” exceptions to God’s rules. If it is wrong for the lost, it is wrong for the saved. If it is wrong for the average person, it is wrong for the blessed.

 (Rom 2:2) “But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.”   Truth: God only deals with truth. There is not the least bit of hint of a lie within any of His dealings with man, (Psa_33:4)  “For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.”  When Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?”, the answer was standing before Him: Jesus, the truth is sinless. I ask you, “Do you speak truth within your own heart, and then before man?”

(Rom 2:2) “But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.”  When judged, we state, “You have no right”; “You don’t  know my heart”. Thus we put off those who desire to help us. Oh, but we all stand fully exposed before He Who knows all things: (Ps 139:1) “O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. (2)  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.” When He judges – and He will – we will have no excuse.

(Rom 2:1) “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.”   Why is it we have a tendency to be critical of others. Answer: pride. We think ourselves better than others. Notice closely the wording of the following: (Gal_6:1) “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.” How hard it is for us to…. (Php_2:3) “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”

(Rom 2:1) “Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.”  There is a difference between “judging” and “recognizing a sinful act”. To say, “You have sinned in this or that” is not necessarily judging. If the motivation is not condemnation, but reconciliation with a merciful God, then it is not judging.

 (Rom 1:32) “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”    “Who knowing”: to be fully acquainted with the knowledge. When you speak to someone of sin and judgment to come, though the person has never been to church, still their heart is acquainted with the knowledge. Plus, the Holy Spirit adds testimony to this truth (Jn 16:7-8). So, speak fully of the need of Christ Jesus to the lost.

DAILY DROP OF WATER

(Rom 1:32) “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.”  It is said that “people do not like to sin alone”. It’s bad enough that they defile themselves before a holy God, but also “delight” that others do so. They love to rob the innocent of their naivete. Watch any child’s show today and you will see crudeness. “Worthy of death”.

(Rom 1:32) “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Look….(31)…implacable,….” The idea here is to not honor his word to anyone, even God. He could stand in God’s presence and take an oath with no intention of keeping it – worthy of death. I ask you, “Have you made oaths before God of which you have not kept?” 

DAILY DROP OF WATER

(Rom 1:32) “Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.” Look….(31)…without natural affection,…”  These are one Gk word meaning without love for kindred. I say to you that first of all, to not love one’s God is unnatural. To not respond in love to one who gave His life for you is unnatural. To not care for the souls of those who are family is unnatural. The Lord says, such are worthy of death.
