Friday Folly

Romans 2:2-7

4 Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?

5 But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 He will judge everyone according to what they have done. 7 He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.

If you consider yourself a Christian, then you believe in the Judeo-Christian God. Under this belief system, you believe in a god so powerful that he could crush a human like a bug. You also believe that sin is an abomination to God and that everyone sins. With that in mind, how can you possibly take God's grace for granted?

From the verses above, we should see that God's patience with us is not a 0% financing situation where you can do whatever you want with no worry of consequences, but instead "you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself".

Take today as an opportunity to "see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin" and begin to seek "after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers" by seeking after his will.
