With Knowledge Comes Responsibility

Romans 2:1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.


Romans Chapter 1 ended with a list of horrible wrongs that enter a society when it refuses GOD. Read Romans 1:26-32
When you read a list like this does it create a tendency to judge?

In light of all the wrongs Paul pointed out in ch.1:18-32. Now don't be quick to point the finger and judge those sinning when you may be guilty of sinning also.


Jesus said in

Mathew 7:1 - 5
"Do not judge lest you be judged. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. "And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.


The point here is not to condemn others because you've been made aware of the sinful acts, but rather to understand the truth about GOD'S knowledge and coming judgment. AND WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE WILL COME SOME RESPONSIBILITY.
