What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? No, not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: "There's no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."
Pastor Daniel Kim from Beijing shared on this when he was preaching in our church today. He added,"Everything in this world is conditional. People judge us by what what we do and how we perform." This statement really struck me as it's so true. Even in any kind of relationships, the love we share is conditional. We can say how much we love each other but still we condition others. We want others to live up to our expectations. We want others to speak our love languages but most of the time we fail to speak their love languages. It could be because of not willing to let go of self and it could be because of insensitivity. Our humanly love is really selfish. We can hardly accept people because of who they are. Are we any better? Why do we try to "impose" others?
Pastor explained as the scripture stated in verse 20, it's only when we know God's law, we are conscious of our sins. When we are conscious of our sins, let's try to overcome it with God. God is our Redeemer, Saviour and Friend. He will not forsake us. Let's be brave! And let's learn how God loves and love others like how God loves us.
