Dear Ones The Gentiles were not raised knowing the Torah (the law). They didn't know the expectations of God according to that law yet naturally some showed God' law. It showed that God writes on the heart, of everyone, His name and we each naturally know right or wrong. "The Jews could not claim exemption on the ground that they had a special place in God's plan. The Gentiles could not claim exemption on the grounds that they had never received the written law. The Jews would be judged as men and women who had known the law; the Gentiles as people who had a God-given conscience. God will judge us according to what we know and have the change to know." (Excerpt from William Barclay's Romans commentary) Dear Ones, take the change to know God, take the change while you have it to know that He loves you and desires joy, peace, love, kindness, goodness that comes only from Him. Rejoice today that He has given us a written Word to guide us and that we do not have to be as the Gentiles and just wing it. Thank you for journeying with me- Angie #dailyscriptureandthoughts.
