Judgement and Law

For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

It seems to say that there are two different guidelines to which a person lives their life. One who has the law, and one who does not. Those who have the law must do what it says, and those who don't must do what the law requires without necessarily knowing the full extent of it. For when gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law themselves, even though they do not have the law. They sho that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of ment by Jesus Christ.

This verse contradicts the assumption that everyone can choose what is good for themselves. there is truly only ONE law. Some people have it, some do not. All have to do what it requires. All are judged under equal circumstances. All are sinful and deserve death. All deserve judgment.

How do we prove we are living by the law?They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience bears witness.

God calls us to learn his word in heed to know his law. We need to staple his word to our hearts so that we may identify our sin problems, grow in Him and become more like Him.

Lord,
help me in my daily interactions to show your word in everything that i do. God, i know that you have a plan for me. if sin is holding me back from realizing your plan for my life, make this known to me. Jesus, I know that I have issues with fully obeying your law. help me to be digging deeply into your word and give me an understanding and concentration and focus that can only come from you. I love you father.
