Day 3: The Judge
Read:
- Romans 2:1-4
- Romans 2:12-16
Romans 2:1 reminds us that when we judge others, we condemn ourselves because none of us measures up to God’s divine standard.
God’s judgment isn’t based on how we see ourselves or others—it’s based on His perfect truth. Romans 2:12 tells us that God will judge people according to the light they’ve received. Even those without the Jewish law have their conscience, an inner sense of right and wrong, which is enough to accuse and convict them.
Knowledge brings responsibility. The more we understand God’s truth, the more accountable we are to live by it. Let this reminder inspire humility and gratitude for God’s mercy, as well as a desire to align your life with His standard rather than your own.
