The Book of Romans: A 16 Day Devotional

DAY 2 OF 16

I think that we can all agree that we live in an imperfect and judgmental world. It is a common trend in society to judge others whether we notice ourselves doing it or not. Whether it be because of looks, moral standing, social status, or some other form of “hierarchy” that society sets standards for, I’m sure that we can all admit that we have fallen into this trend.

This Scripture really challenges the notion of today’s society. It reminds us that we are all imperfect people and that we should not look down on anyone else as we are the same, if not worse, for thinking this way when we know the right way. It also reminds us that God’s goodness is for our past, present, and future mistakes, while asking us the question: “Do you take that for granted?” Within that, using the label of being a Christian as an excuse for our choices, good or bad. It’s not about being a Christian by label and knowledge but by having a changed heart that is filled with the Holy Spirit that leads to doing what is right and holy. It reminds me of Jesus’ teaching that we should be in the world, not of the world. (Throughout the book of John.)

Reflection

Can I encourage you, in all that you do, to remember that Christ’s forgiveness is for every day and for everything?

Let’s not forget to “practice what we preach” - continue to grow in our understanding and knowledge of God, but remember that it’s not these things that make us right with God.Believing in our hearts that Jesus died for our sins gives us salvation. The changed heart and relationship with God is evidence of this faith.
