Romans 2:2-4...Seek the Truth...

"Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 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? 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?"

We know that God’s judgment is pure and based on absolute truth, because that is who God is, without flaw. Today’s world likes to take the seat of authority, deserved or not, and quickly dispenses judgment based on lies, rumors and whatever moves the agenda forward. Take the abortion issue for instance and understand the lie that has been told time and again that a women’s body is her own and that she has a choice to make concerning the life of her baby. First of all, we are made in God’s image and formed by His hand, therefore we are His, and secondly we have no part in determining the outcome of a pregnancy if we believe that God is in control. Lies and deceit have caused many to fall away from God and this is just one example. Bickering and threats are not the way of God but rather love, forbearance, kindness, patience and charity are the traits that we should use the most.
