Song # 1803.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. Many people believe that they can run their own life, do as they please and answer to no-one. They have no time for God and do not think they need Him in their life. In the Book of Romans we read in chapter 14 that we should not judge or look down on our brother for we will all stand before God’s judgement.
One man considers one day more sacred than another, while another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind (Romans 14:5). He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord (Romans 14:6). For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone (Romans 14:7). If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord (Romans 14:8). For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that He might be the Lord to both the dead and the living (Romans 14:9). You then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgement seat (Romans 14:10). It is written “As surely as I live” says the Lord “Every knee will bow before me, every tongue will confess to God” (Romans 14:11). So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God (Romans 14:12). Therefore let us stop passing judgement on one another (Romans 14:13).
Thought for today: value your love for others, so they will love your values.
Thought for the future: no man is an island, and we will all be judged in time. Where will you spend your eternity?
