Romans 2:5-8 (GWTransl)Since you are stubborn and don’t want to change the way you think and act, you are adding to the anger that God will have against you on that day when God vents his anger. At that time God will reveal that his decisions are fair. He will pay all people back for what they have done. He will give everlasting life to those who search for glory, honor, and immortality by persisting in doing what is good. But he will bring anger and fury on those who, in selfish pride, refuse to believe the truth and who follow what is wrong.

Judgment day is coming. It’s time to get in His grace so we don’t have to be eternally damned in His judgment for a wrong decision.  It continues. 

Romans 2:9-11 (GWTransl)

There will be suffering and distress for every person who does evil, for Jews first and Greeks as well. But there will be glory, honor, and peace for every person who does what is good, for Jews first and Greeks as well. God does not play favorites.

Romans 2:4 (GWT)Do you have contempt for God, who is very kind to you, puts up with you, and deals patiently with you? Don’t you realize that it is God’s kindness that is trying to lead you to him and change the way you think and act?

それとも、神の慈愛があなたを悔い改めに導くことも知らないで、その豊かな慈愛と忍耐と寛容とを軽んじているのですか

God is so gracious and so good. We live in the age of grace. He is so graceful in drawing us to Himself by His Holy Spirit. Those who respond will forever be in His grace. Those who reject Him have a coming judgment. 

Acts 21:4 (NKJV Strong’s,)And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

Paul could have done a lot more for the Kingdom if he would have listened the the Holy Spirits multiple warnings. Are you listening to the Spirit of God or are you ignoring?

Acts 17:16 (NKJV Strong’s,)Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.

Acts 17:11 (NKJV Strong’s,)These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.

Acts 15:35 (NKJV Strong’s,)Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Acts 15:8-9 (NKJV Strong’s,)So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

For by wise guidance you will wage war,
And in abundance of counselors there is victory.

Proverbs 24:6 (NASB)

My favorite saying is, “You want to be a champion, run with the champions”.  Find it very true.  If you’re around stoners, you’ll become a drug user too.  However, if you challenge yourself and get around other challengers everyone is going to the next level.

Not any counselor is good.  Sound yourself with wise champions and thoroughly sort out the issue.
