Whether we like it or not, whether we believe/subscribe to it or not, God’s moral law reigns supreme and we are all under it. We will be judged based on his law, not on what you think they should be.
Romans 2 (ESV)
⁶ He will render to each one according to his works:
¹¹ For God shows no partiality.
• You may believe in a set of moral values and think God accepts them. No! His righteousness (not mine, not yours) remains the same. He’s not going to change his standards to accommodate you. He will judge the unrighteous for their unrighteousness.
Romans 1 (ESV)
¹⁷ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith.”
¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
• However, God loves you that He wants you to turn to him and his righteousness, not Him turning/accepting your beliefs on your version of righteousness and unrighteousness.
Romans 3 (ESV)
²⁴ and [all] are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
• You need to be redeemed from these false beliefs! Redemption also involves delivering you from false moral standards. So do not be a fool in believing that the world’s morality is acceptable to God:
Romans 1 (ESV)
²² Claiming to be wise, they became fools, ²³ and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. ²⁴ Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
• If you hold on to unrighteousness and you are living in it, call out to Jesus and be delivered from the power of immorality:
Romans 7 (ESV)
²⁴ Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? ²⁵ Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Romans 10 (ESV)
¹³ For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
• You may have judged those who proclaim the righteousness of God, when you yourself are not the judge and unrighteous too. Only God is the righteous judge.
Romans 3 (ESV)
⁴ By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.”
• You may want to shoot the messenger, but the messenger does not set what righteousness is. God does based on his nature. God is righteous.
Will you able to stand before the righteous God? Through Jesus' righteousness, you can (Romans 5:18)!
