“J. M. H.” Rom. 1:1818For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (Romans 1:18) states the broad truth, that wrath from heaven is revealed against “all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.” It does not matter who they are that commit ungodliness and unrighteousness, God's wrath is revealed against all such things. Rom. 2:88But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, (Romans 2:8) must be interpreted in the same way. God deals in realities. He looks for right conduct; and all evil must be judged. We need hardly say that these passages leave wholly untouched the grand truth of the believer's standing in Christ. The Christian is passed from death to life, and can never come into judgment. His work will be tested; but he himself is accepted in the beloved, and can no more come into judgment than Christ Himself. God does not accept us to-day, and judge us to-morrow. Such is not His way, blessed be His name. Rom. 2:1616In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. (Romans 2:16) refers to the Day of Judgment. We do not think Philem. 1:18, 19,18If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account; 19I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. (Philemon 18‑19) affords any warrant whatever for what is commonly called going security.
