EXCUSED FROM JUDGEMENT
(Scripture) :- Romans 2:1, KJV. "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."
(The Word) :- Good morning ☺. Hope you enjoyed the night?
One important attribute of our God is that He's very merciful. He's so patient and merciful to the extent that sometimes, we ask why evil people are still alive and good people die. We ask why judgement will not just come upon a particular set of people immediately they misbehave.
Many, including believers, are quick to judge those who commit the sins and are caught. They are the first to suggest that the offenders are punished with immediate effect and they forget that even they themselves are guilty of the same offences except that they have not yet been caught.
To God, sin is sin and the wages of sin is death (Rom.6:23) whether the sin is done in the secret or in the open. If God were to punish sinners and bring judgement on offenders, then, many believers will also fall victims because they are guilty of the same sin that God is rewarding.
Romans 2:3 tells us that God will not punish others and spare us when we are guilty of the same sin. He is not partial. He is no respecter of persons. If you commit any of these sins, and do not confess but decide to keep it hidden, the day God decides to reward sin, you will be affected.
The truth is that sin will always be rewarded (Rom.2:12). However, we can be excused from judgement through the grace that comes through Christ Jesus and His sacrifice on the Cross. After accepting the sacrifice and we begin to live holy, only then, can we be excused from judgement.
