Who is the justified judge?
Therefore you have no excuse, o man, every one of you who judges. for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God righty falls on those who practice such things. We are not able to judge other people based on the fact that we all have sin in our lives that we are dealing with. It is direct hyprocisy to say to someone you are doing wrong and need to repent this, if you in fact are not following your own advice. Therefore, the only one that is justified in saying these things, is God. This is because of his perfect life. He is perfectly righteous. Do you suppose o man you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself that you will escape the judgment of God? But because of your hard and impentient heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. He will render us according to his works: to those who by patience in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. God judges everything that we ever do. However, there is only one way to get to heaven. Nothing that we ever do will get us to heaven in works alone. These works come as a result of what God has done in our lives. We first have to accept the fact that we stand before an almighty God that lived a sinless life and has the power to condemn or approve eternity with Him. In fear and reverence and thankfulness, we live our lives for Him, giving Him full authority. Works come as a result of who God is and who we are letting Him be.

Lord, Help me to replicate the example that you give here. In all of my efforts, help my actions glorify you in everything that I do. God, I know that you want my absolute best in everything in your name. Thank you for reminding me through Your word your absolute power. Help me in my daily actions to give my absolute best in everything that I do.
