El sermón "Que piensas" predicado por Joel Coyoc aborda la temática del juicio de Dios y su relación con la condición humana, utilizando Romanos 2:2-5 como base. Coyoc argumenta que el juicio de Dios es imparcial y se funda en la verdad, advirtiendo que aquellos que juzgan a otros sin reconocer sus propias transgresiones se condenan a sí mismos. Las escrituras citadas, particularmente Romanos 2, enfatizan la desesperación de la humanidad y la necesidad del arrepentimiento, subrayando que todos son dignos de muerte a causa del pecado. Esto conlleva a una reflexión sobre la importancia de pensar bíblicamente, la gracia de Dios y la verdadera riqueza que se encuentra en Su benignidad y longanimidad, llevando a la congregación a considerar su propia posición ante Dios y la necesidad de humildad.

The Bible teaches that God's judgment is based on truth, and all mankind is deserving of death due to sin.
The Scriptures emphasize that God's judgment is according to truth (Romans 2:2). This means that God's standards are not based on human opinion but on His holy nature. All have sinned and fallen short of His glory (Romans 3:23), and thus, the only thing humanity truly deserves is death, both physically and spiritually. Such a reality underscores the severity of sin and the ultimate accountability each person has before a holy God. The importance of understanding God's judgment lies in recognizing our need for repentance and grace through Christ.
Romans 2:2, Romans 3:23
God's judgments are true because they are based on His perfect character and nature.
God's judgment is always in accordance with truth, as stated in Romans 2:2. He does not judge based on mere appearances or human understanding but rather according to His own righteous character. This assures us that His judgments are just and infallible. The implications of this teaching remind us that our evaluation of right and wrong must align with God's Word and character, which serves as the ultimate standard. It leads us to a deeper reverence for God's authority and truth in every area of life.
Romans 2:2
Understanding God's patience encourages repentance and awareness of His mercy.
God's patience and kindness are meant to lead us to repentance (Romans 2:4). This truth is vital for Christians as it highlights God's desire for us to turn from sin and embrace His grace. Recognizing His patience can cultivate a heart of gratitude, humility, and a desire to glorify Him rather than take His kindness for granted. Furthermore, it reminds us that while God is patient, His ultimate judgment is certain and should motivate us to proclaim His truth and share His love with others before it is too late.
Romans 2:4
Ignoring God's judgment can lead to spiritual hardening and ultimately, condemnation.
When individuals disregard God's judgment, they risk hardening their hearts and accumulating wrath for the day of judgment (Romans 2:5). Such an attitude reflects a lack of reverence for God's holiness and a failure to recognize the gravity of sin. The continued refusal to repent can lead to a spiritual state where one becomes desensitized to sin and God's calling. In contrast, embracing the reality of God's judgment and our need for Him leads to true heart transformation, fostering humility and dependence on Christ's righteousness.
Romans 2:5
