Romans 2
HOW TO BE GOD’S FAVORITE
Rom 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Many people think that God has favorites. But our text today tells us that He does not have any. The Jews are not His favorites, neither are the Gentiles.
Paul is trying to establish here that no one has a special place in God where forgiveness, righteousness and justification are concerned. And we dear add, where anything is concerned at all.
When Peter met Cornelius he said to him, “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons” Acts 10:34
What does God respect or who does God respect? Peter answers us in verse 35 of Acts 10, “But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him”
TPT reads, “It makes no difference what race of people one belongs to. If they show deep reverence for God, and are committed to doing what’s right, they are acceptable before him.”
God does not prefer some to others!
One thing is sure, in any nation, any family, any organization, those who reverence God by doing His word, are those He will honor, they are those that will stand out!. He said Himself, “but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” 1Samuel 2:30b.
David stood out in his family and nation. God said concerning him, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.” Acts 13:22
If any man chooses to do His will and to serve Him according to His word, He will be His favorite!
To the ends of the earth,
God bless you richly with great grace and many blessings!
