IF we have within us some knowledge of right and wrong, a sense of RULE that must be obeyed we know also that it must be obeyed perfectly in all its parts. Rom 2:13 it is not the hearers but the DOERS of the Law that are justified or declared right by and with GOD.<br /><br />Which leads of course, because none can perfectly keep the law, to the conclusion that "THE LAW CONDEMNS." The law tells us very well what is required of us - what we must do - but it does not give us the ability to do it.<br /><br />Here is a great poem that we learned before that reminds me of ROMANS 2:<br /><br />Run, John, Run, the Law commands<br />But gives me neither feet nor hands<br />Far Better news the Gospel Brings<br />It bids me Fly and gives me wings<br /><br />Check out this post for more ideas on Romans 2:<br />http://taste-that-which-is-good.blogspot.com/search/label/Rom02Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772782406743899142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7339894223889788713.post-49743315008445687422010-09-08T12:15:47.072-07:002010-09-08T12:15:47.072-07:00That's pretty good, poem girl. Thanks. I esp...That's pretty good, poem girl. Thanks. I especially like the phrase "golden shoes" it makes wonder what you mean exactly - which is probably one of the great things poetry does when it makes us think. I'm wondering if the words refer to the idea that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made." Or our feet themselves could be thought of as "golden shoes." Or lastly could it be referring to the marvel of the creation he has placed us in where we can walk and observe with amazement the awesome works of his hand. I kind of like the first one best but all three could be implied within the one phrase.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772782406743899142noreply@blogger.com
