Rom 2:1-4 Judgmental criticism of others is a well-known way of escaping detection in your own crimes and misdemeanors. 2 But God isn't so easily diverted. He sees right through all such smoke screens and holds you to what you've done. 3 You didn't think, did you, that just by pointing your finger at others you would distract God from seeing all your misdoings and from coming down on you hard? 4 Or did you think that because he's such a nice God, he'd let you off the hook? Better think this one through from the beginning. God is kind, but he's not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life-change.
