No Favoritism

No Favoritism

Scripture: Romans 2:11 “For God does not show favoritism.”

Observation: This portion of scripture Paul is talking about God’s Judgment. For there is no respect of persons with God - He will reward every one according to his works. But this is well consistent with his distributing advantages and opportunities of improvement, according to his own good pleasure. (Wesley)

Application: When you cut to the core of Christ and our salvation, doing good just is not enough. Salvation is not granted in doing good! However it is granted in trusting in Christ and seeking Him, He earned our salvation. So when you look at favoritism, there is none with God. No matter what racial, family, or religious background you are from, it does not keep you from judgment. We are all accountable for our own actions and one day God will judge everyone’s secret life!

Prayer: God I am so grateful for your amazing love and grace. Your word is eternal and true! Thank you for being consistent and right. We look at your word and see that you show no favoritism…but your judgment is for all people. I pray that people in churches and out of churches will begin to heed these words. And they would be set free of their own sin and realize that Jesus Christ is their only hope! In Jesus Name Amen!
