30 Days of Truth
Day 12 – focus on christ
Romans 2:14 KJV
[14] For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Romans makes it clear that all people, under the law or otherwise are judged. No one is exempt, and no one has partiality with God.
Romans 2:14 teaches that the Gentiles have the law of God, (that is, the essential capacity for understanding right from wrong) written into their very nature.
A person’s mind either accuses or excuses their thoughts and actions.
The human conscience is bent towards self-condemnation, even when we are not condemned by God or by others.
Yet, despite our propensity to condemn ourselves, there is hope!
When we see our weakness in our flesh and focus on giving into that weakness, we will continue in it.
When we focus on Christ and the things of God, reminding ourselves (daily) how loved, perfect and holy we are to God, our weaknesses will transform into the strength to overcome.
Our self-condemnation can be turned into an unshakable confidence toward God, as we focus on and reveal His nature within us.
