God Judges Secrets

[Guest coolwaters]

Romans 2:16:

[Faith1]

Hi Coolwaters,

Yep I tend to agree with your study on these verses...

God knows the heart of man the mind of man the intentions of man. Man only sees the outward God sees the inward and He will judge...

Thank God that in His grace He convicts our conscience so we may confess our sin (well those of us who choose to anyway) and escape His coming judgement.

Thanks for your post

Oh one more thing, I believe that the law if what your referring to is the 10 commandments where given by God to show us that we cannot keep them thereby showing us the need of our Saviour who was the ONLY ONE that fullfilled that law...there are other cammandments as well...love thy neighbour...pray for your enemies....do not lust after a woman by looking at her...(a secret sin!) etc etc etc...but Christ has fullfilled all and through Him we have the priveledge of coming before His throne for forgiveness when ever we are convicted of breaking any of these commandments...

Just my 2cents worth...

In Christ

John 8:9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

Romans 9:1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

2 Cor. 1:12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

1 Tim. 1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

1 Tim. 4:2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

2 Tim. 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,

Heb. 9:14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

1 Peter 3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

1Jo 3:21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

In His Love,

God will indeed not only judge the secrets, He will reveal them: “For nothing is hidden which will not become manifest, nor secret which shall not be known and come to light.” (Luke 8:17)

Everyone’s hidden lives will be laid bare and those who hide under aliases and strive to hurt people emotionally and spread vitriol all over the internet will be exposed and they will have to give an account for every word: “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.” (Matthew 12:36)
