Romans 2 - Nathanael

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
Romans 2:1

After reading about the sins of Romans 1 it is easy for us to have a judgemental attitude toward others. Paul warns and reminds us if the folly of such an attitude because the truth is that we ate sinners too! We need humble and grateful hearts and always be reaching out to others in the love of Jesus.

No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person's praise is not from other people, but from God.
Romans 2:‭29 NIV

Getting to a place where we seek praise only from God and not man is a great thing, though it takes the work and mercy of God in our hearts and lives.

Lord Jesus, let me seek only your praise!
