Romans
2:1-5
A
Stern Warning for the Self-Righteous
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.
Rom 2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is
according to truth against them which commit such things.
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?
Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness
and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth
thee to repentance?
Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart
treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the
righteous judgment of God;
- You
are Inexcusable – vs. 1*
- Those
that condemn others will be condemned themselves
i.
Matthew 7:1-5
- Those
that Condemn Others Will Have to Answer to God and His Judgment – vs. 2-3*
- James
4:11-12
- To
Judge Others is to Despise the Mercy of God – vs. 4*
- Do
you hate the following? If not why do your actions say that you do?
i.
Ephesians 1:5-8; Exodus 34:6;
2 Peter 3:9
- Because
of Hardness of Our Hearts We Incur the Wrath of God – vs. 5*
- Zechariah
7:11-12; Hebrews
3:12-15
- Even
We Believers Must Daily Deny Our Self Through Humble Repentance
- Christians
need to continually repent of our sin and come back into the loving arms
of God. Least we experience the chastisement of God because of the
hardness of our hearts. James gives us an outline for repentance.
