Grace & The Law (A Study in Romans) No.4- All In The Same Boat

Have you ever noticed that we church people tend to be blind to our own spiritual deficiencies? Even at GraceLife where we want to love one another, we’re constantly judging each other without even realizing it. Confident in our own superiority, we pass moral, cultural, and political judgment on others without hesitation. We gossip, lash out with passive aggression, and unleash self-righteous social media rants over society’s latest controversies. What if the very thing you’re most confident in—your supposed superiority—is the very thing that condemns you? Are you really so sure that, while you admit you’re not perfect, you’ve got this part all figured out? Having a false sense of superiority or security in any area of life is a very dangerous spiritual place to be. It blinds us to our need for grace, keeps us from examining our own hearts, and leads us further from the truth. We are all in the same boat together. Any “superiority” over anyone else in any area is a false sense of spiritual security. This isn’t about pointing fingers but facing truth together, finding real security in the life-changing grace of the Gospel.
