Many Christians live by their religious standards and judge others by these same standards completely missing their new covenant with God.
Love the Lord with all you are and others just as God loves you through grace.
They will not confess their sin of rejecting grace, they deny the work of the cross and accuse others of living outside of salvation (your going to hell because you live in sin).
They deny their jealous hearts, judging others with opinion and gossip. Romans 11 concludes with the simple message; who do we think we are that God might owe us favor because of our labor or love. We were all born rejects, undeserving people unworthy, unrighteous. We have no right to pound our religion on the Innocent heart, it hardens them to grace. How dare we push our own family away from God because they are undeserving living in sin.
We are outsiders to His chosen people, we are the non-Jewish Gentiles. So who then are we but undeserving outcasts to the law and favor of God. Only through His love of each and every individual person did Christ open the door to his heart, not because we deserved or deserve anything.
Even now as representatives, as heirs to God's grace, we see ourselves above the less intelligent, less blessed. Oh, we can deny it and go on continuing our judgement that we so think we earned, living the lie. The blood of Jesus Christ still covers us regardless because salvation is God's gift, undeserved.
They will know we are Christians by our love.
God never abandoned the Israelite people even though He should have time and time again. His grace, His love is beyond understanding. The door is always open not only for the Jew's but everyone, it is His promise
Paul teaches to the Gentile world, you and I, that God is in total control of everything, who are we to question his ways.
God owes us nothing but chooses to give abundantly, look it up, Romans 11.
We must stop the judgement and allow God's Spirit to work through us. We can judge and condemn ______________, or we can do the right thing, allow God's grace to work in our life through love.
All we need is love!
