Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
MEDITATION:
IN MEDITATION OF THIS VERSE, THIS LED ME TO CONCLUDE THAT IT IS NOT BY JUST DOING EVIL AND BEING WICKED THAT WE SIN, BUT ALSO IF WE APPROVE OF EVIL AND WICKEDNESS THAT WE SIN AGAINST GOD.
REALIZING THIS LED ME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT EVERYONE SINS.
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
FOR IN OUR DAILY LIFE, WE ARE FORCED TO TOLERATE EVIL, AND THERE IS A POINT THAT EVEN SOCIETY APPROVES SINNING.
THEREFORE, EVEN TOLERANCE/APPROVAL OF SINNING AND WICKEDNESS IS SIN.
THEREFORE, WE ARE ALL SINNING.
1 John 1:8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
WE ARE ALL SINNERS, AND THIS IS THE TRUTH.
Proverbs 20:9
Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"?
IN OUR DAILY LIFE, IT IS HARD TO KEEP A PURE HEART, TO BE CLEAN AND WITHOUT SIN.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE IN OUR WORLD NOT TO SIN.
WE ALL FALL SHORT OF GOD'S GLORY.
THEREFORE, WHAT RIGHT DO WE HAVE TO CONDEMN ANYONE?
John 8:7
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
THE ONE WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO CONDEMN SHOULD BE WITHOUT SIN.
Romans 2:1
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
WE CANNOT JUDGE ANYONE IF WE TOO SIN LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
Matthew 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
THE ONE WHO JUDGES WILL ALSO BE JUDGED.
Luke 6:37
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged.
Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned.
Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
FOR US NOT TO BE JUDGED, WE MUST NOT JUDGE.
FOR US NOT TO BE CONDEMNED, WE SHOULD NOT CONDEMN.
FOR US TO BE FORGIVEN, WE MUST FORGIVE.
Matthew 6:14
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
GOD FORGIVES WHOEVER FORGIVES OTHERS.
Luke 6:36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
James 2:13
because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!
LET MERCY INSTEAD OF JUDGMENT PREVAIL.
Matthew 5:7
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
THOSE WHO ARE MERCIFUL WILL BE GIVEN MERCY.
Romans 14:13
Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another.
Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way.
WE OUGHT TO STOP JUDGING OTHERS.
WE SHOULD NOT BE THE ONES TO GIVE A HARD TIME OR OBSTACLE TO OUR BRETHREN.
James 4:11
Brothers, do not slander one another.
Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it.
When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.
THEREFORE, OUR ROLE IS TO FOLLOW THE WILL OF GOD TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES, AND NOT TO BECOME JUDGES OF THE LAW, NOR SLANDER ANYONE.
1 Peter 2:1
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
WE OUGHT TO RID OURSELVES OF ALL SORTS OF EVILS IF WE ARE FOLLOWING GOD'S WILL.
James 5:9
Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged.
The Judge is standing at the door!
WE OUGHT NOT TO JUDGE OUR BRETHREN.
LET GOD BE THE JUDGE.
Colossians 3:13
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
WE ARE THEREFORE GIVEN THE TASK OF OUR GOD, TO BE COMPASSIONATE, TO BEAR EACH OTHER, AND TO FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER, AS GOD HAS FORGIVEN US.
omans 15:7
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
THEREFORE, WE ACCEPT EACH OTHER, AS CHRIST HAS ACCEPTED US.
John 15:12
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
THEREFORE, IN THE END, ALL OF THESE CONNECT WITH THE COMMANDMENT OF LOVE.
THAT WE LOVE EACH OTHER AS CHRIST HAS LOVED US.
THE ONLY ONE WHO DID NOT SIN IN THE WHOLE OF MANKIND'S HISTORY IS THE CHRIST....
HE WAS OFFERED AS A RANSOM FOR OUR SINS- UNBLEMISHED, UNTAINTED- SO THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO RELY ON THE SALVATION HE IS OFFERING TO US....
1 PETER 2:21-22 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
