The teaching of brother Eli Soriano, which gives us the exposition in Romans 2:13-14. His teaching from that scripture gave a better perspective of the truth about God's justice and grace.
As Paul writes, "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things containing the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves".
From this passage, Brother Eli reviews the impartial judgment of God, how His value reflects the act's action, over more just exposure to the teachings of God.
So what is important here is that most of the idea that all these tribes or most of the civilization that has happened in the world throughout, the preaching and the gospel that has been spread throughout the world can be justified by only God because they live out of love, kindness, without knowing God. We go to those laws that they obey.
We are facing the challenges of the assumption that salvation is just for a particular restricted religion or set of people, which is very false. Brother Eli starts to tell us that when we naturally adhere to God's principle and standard, avoiding disobedience of the law, God also shows us mercy.
And not just about who is a believer or not. He shows everyone mercy and those who obey His law. This perspective of Brother Eli teaching humbled me a lot. For some of our believers who have access to the Bible, but yet sometimes fail to live according to the principle of God, this is very, very wrong.
In contrast to Brother Eli also warning us that we should not be only the hearer of the law, but also the doer. It's not enough to keep our dirty churches within the scriptures. Our life also must reflect the truth about God.
Right now I'm very inspired to examine my life as a believer. I'm taking note of my actions, my thinking and my thoughts. And I'm striving to align myself with the law of righteousness as a life.
Truly, they say God's grace is universal and not restricted. And His mercy and judgment is fair also. When we seek a righteous life, He acknowledges and blesses us accordingly. And I'm grateful to the teaching of Brother Eli for giving me this kind of exposition as a believer.
