Lesson 415

(lesson 415)(10-04-12) Romans 2:1-6, "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. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 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? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? 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; Who will render to every man according to his deeds:"

This lesson demonstrates how the Apostle Paul, using simple gospel truth, could so eloquently slap hypocrites up side their heads.

Herein, Paul first defines the guilty, then he condemns those self righteous individuals who set themselves up as judges of others, declaring the judges equally guilty of the original sins.

Paul goes on the tell us that almighty God is the ultimate judge, and that He will most assuredly judge the guilty as well as their accusers.
This lesson very much applies to today's "Christians", it did to the traditional Jews of Paul's day.~
