Romans 2:3
“So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?”
We live in a sad world filled with hypocrisy and façades. It is a world in which people clothe themselves with one thing on the outside, but become something completely different behind closed doors. It is a world where people are more concerned with the praises of the man and the view of man that they neglect that of God. A universe in which one will come out preach and proclaim against fornication and lies yet the first thing that they do away from others is to fornicate and lie. When they are in the spotlight, they are a different human being than when alone.
It is as if many of us think that God can only see us when we come outside of our houses. As though He is blind to what happens inside our homes. We act as if God only sees us when we are come out, and perform better than angels, and He does not see when we go in and behave worse than the enemy we speak against to people. Most of us are confused because we think that we will be judged solely on how we behave in public. This mentality, however, isn’t true because God is more concerned about the heart, and at home, is where the heart shows its true colors. At home is where our real self comes out and God sees that just as much as He sees us outside.
Don’t you dare think that you can fool God, and act one way on the inside and another on the outside. It is all or nothing, either you are for God and do what is right or against Him and do whatever you want. Whatever side of the fence it is, know that you cannot deceive Him neither can you escape His judgment. Be Christ-minded and follow the word of God so that you preach unto others, but remember, it is for you to follow just as much as it is for them.
