May 18: 1 Chronicles 1-3; Psalm 115; Romans 2

Many good nuggets in Romans 2 today.  Two to think about:

Over and over in Scripture it is made clear that God is the judge when it comes to one's living out the life of faith.....ours and others.  It is not our role to judge, but to love and forgive.

Paul makes it clear that to know the law, to be able to recite it and spout it out, isn't what redeems and restores us......it isn't God's desire that we can quote the Law word by word.  It is God's desire for us to live the law.  We are to live the command to love one another as Jesus loves us and to love God with all our heart, mind, strength and soul.  (oh, and by the way, it isn't our job to judge how well others are doing it......it is our call to love.)
