Romans 2:14-15 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: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;

Yesterday as I spoke about spiritual abusers, I want to address worldly excusers. If you have never heard this phrase before, I would be surprised. “Good people go to hell all the time.” That doesn’t sound fair and worldly people rebel against that notion because it speaks to them.

The very next verse gives the answer as to how all men are judged for their actions, Christians and non-christians alike. It is only just and fair if all are judged alike.

V16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

What this means for all of us, in everything we do: did we do it with Jesus Christ? Did we do a thing to glorify ourselves or to glorify Jesus Christ? Did we want to be seen or did we want Jesus Christ to be seen? Where our actions obedience of faith or force of will?

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

The meditations of a man’s heart are true if Jesus Christ dwells in that heart.
