Do you Judge?

Do you think that God will judge and condemn others for doing them and not judge you when you do them, too? Don't you realize how kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? or don't you care? Can't you see how kind he has been in giving you time to turn from your sin?
Romans 2v3-4

I think what this is trying to tell us is that we need to stop looking around us and judging how other people live and the wrong that they do but instead take a good look at ourselves and realize that we also sin and that by Gods grace he has saved us. That it is not through what we know and the good works that we do that casts Gods favour upon us because no matter how many good things we do and no matter how much we know Gods word we still sin, we are still imperfect and do not deserve Gods love and mercy.  However we need to remember how amazingly kind, tolerant, and patient God really is for it is only because of that and the price that Jesus paid on the cross, that we are truly saved. At the end of Romans chapter 2, 2v29

No a true Jew is one who's heart is right with God. And a true circumcision is not a cutting of the body but a change of heart produced by God's Spirit. Whoever has that kind of change seeks praise from God, not from people

This reinforces that it is not through actions but through God working in us and our willingness to change our heart through him.

Knowing God?

But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful wicked people who push the truth away from themselves. For the truth about God is known to them instinctively. God has put this knowledge in their hearts. From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and the sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities - his internal power and divine nature so they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.
Romans 1vs18-20

This verse shows me that each and everyone of us has the truth of God in us and that it is our own sinful nature that pushes it away and choose to go our own way instead of trusting in him. Although we can visibly see the wondrous creation that God has made he still appears to be a mystery to us. I mean when it comes to knowing what he wants for you and the world around you, it is something that you already know deep down inside but can only be unearthed by looking through his word and listening to people who have been down the same path. So slowly you can begin to understand and love God so much more for it.

I think that it is good that God hasn't made it easy though. Or else our walk with God would become boring and we would loose concentration. However when its hard we have to stay concentrated and once where through it we can appreciate God so much more!
