The goal isn’t merely good behavior or success but deep spiritual formation through modeling, teaching, and pointing children to the gospel. The lesson challenges believers to invest fully in their spiritual influence, trusting God to bring the increase and continue the legacy of faith from generation to generation.
This lesson from Romans 2:9–16 emphasizes that all people, whether Jew or Gentile, are without excuse and will face God's judgment. Paul explains that God's judgment is based not on what people didn’t know, but on what they did know—through creation, conscience, and the law written on their hearts. Humanity is guilty due to an undeniable Creator, a built-in moral compass, an active conscience, and internal conflict over right and wrong. Paul also exposes myths, such as the belief that God plays favorites or will let sin slide. The lesson urges repentance, revealing that the only escape from judgment is faith in Jesus Christ.
No one ever lives a life of holiness by accident. It happens on purpose. It comes through discipline and obedience to the Spirit of God, which is a daily, moment-by-moment battle. Are you in the fight?
