Boasting in God While Blaspheming God | Romans 2:23-24 | Steve Wainright
You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law. For, as it is written, “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.” -Romans 2:23-24
The way you live your life is showing unbelievers who your God is and what He’s like. How are you living?
The Jews were blaspheming God’s Name by their lifestyle. When people see your life, do they have reason to blaspheme God? People should thirst for what you’ve got because you are different. -excerpts from “Boasting in God While Blaspheming God” by Steve Wainright
