Our Destiny - Eternal Life Or Eternal Wrath Of God

We find ourselves today looking at Paul's warning to us that we are all sinners and that it is God's kindness that is leading us to repent. Every human being is personally responsible for their sin. Jesus the Messiah is the only one who can forgive sin. Jesus made it possible for us to find forgiveness in him through his shed blood. If we refuse that, the wrath of God abides on us.

Romans 2 ISV

1Therefore, you have no excuse—every one of you who judges. For when you pass judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, practice the very same things. 

• 2Now we know that God’s judgment against those who act like this is based ona truth. 
• 3So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on those who practice these things and then do them yourself, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 
• 4Or are you unaware of his rich kindness, forbearance, and patience, that it is God’s kindness that is leading you to repent?

5But because of your stubborn and unrepentant heart you are reserving wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. 

• 6For he will repay everyone according to what that person has done: 
• 7eternal life to those who strive for glory, honor, and immortality by patiently doing good; 
• 8but wrath and fury for those who in their selfish pride refuse to believe the truth and practice wickedness instead. 
• 9There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil, for Jews first and for Greeks as well. 
• 10But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who practices doing good, initially for Jews but also for Greeks as well, 11because God does not show partiality.

12For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law. 

• 13For it is not merely those who hear the Law who are righteous in God’s sight. 
• No, it is those who follow the Law, who will be justified. 
• 14For whenever gentiles, who do not possess the Law, do instinctively what the Law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the Law. 
• 15They show that what the Law requires is written in their hearts, a fact to which their own consciences testify, 
• and their thoughts will either accuse or excuse them 16on that day when God, through Jesus the Messiah,b will judge people’s secrets according to my gospel.

I am a chief of sinners who found forgiveness in Jesus. This music video tells my story.
