Be Doers of the Law

Lady of Light

In Romans, Chapter 2:10:15, it tells about doing good:

"But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the gentile. For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without the law also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. (For not the hears of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscinece also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.)"

What stands out in all of this to me is that we have to be DOERS, not just HEARERS and it is the heart that God looks upon. Many do things with ulterior motives other than to glorify God - God knows what is in their hearts. Many hear, but don't respond to the promptings of conscience or knowledge of what is right.

Each day I ask God to cleanse my heart and mind in Christ Jesus for in 1 John 1:9, God promises, "If we confess our sins, He is just and faithful to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

I pray that today, you will be blessed by these promises of "peace and glory to them that do good" and be "cleansed of all unrighteousness", as you confess your sins.

Have a great day!
