(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.

(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)…unmerciful:…”  This one will not or cannot overlook offences. This is the very opposite of God and it is directly the farthest point from Christianity.  For more come to www.thirstingsouls.com

(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?” 

(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.

 (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)…covenantbreakers,….”  “Covenant-breakers”: treacherous regarding treaties. This immediately made be think of marriage: (Mal 2:14) “Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.”  A covenant is something made before God as witness. Most marriages qualify as such. What was the treachery? Divorce. Oh how little we care or take notice of our covenants made before Almighty God! Take notice of this: He notes the breaking of that covenant.  In this case, He stopped hearing their prayers.

(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 understanding,….” “Without understanding”: unintelligent; by implication wicked.  Because of sin, by God’s standards everyone’s minded is twisted to varying degrees. Once saved, we through seeking His Word through reading and instruction, attempt to bring our thoughts to true sanity. These reject the instruction of God which leads away into more and more “insanity”.

 (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….(30)…disobedient to parents,….”   “Disobedient”: contumacious (stubbornly perverse or rebellious; willfully and obstinately disobedient).  This person totally rejects the guidance of their parents. Question: who guides them before they can even understand the concept of God? You see, one is to transfer that obedience to a parent to that of God. To despise the one is to despise the Other – “Worthy of death.”
