“This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares”. Romans 2:16 NIV
“We may be sure that all this will be taken into account in the day of true judgment, when God will judge men’s secret lives by Jesus Christ, as my Gospel plainly states”. Romans 2:16 Phillips
In plain language, Romans 2:16 is saying: God sees the real person—not only the image we present. One day Jesus will judge every life, including what was hidden in the heart, with perfect fairness.
One of the tools used for surveillance, of everyone, is known as a flock camera. They are at intersections and Highways across the nation. In Turlock there are over 40 of them.
Flock Camera uses AI algorithms to capture the license plate, vehicle make, model, color, and unique features like bumper stickers or scratches. By law the pictures are kept in a database to allow the authorities to track and capture criminals. You can readily see the issue with privacy that this technology presents. Before the authorities needed a court order to track a suspected vehicle. Now they are tracking all innocent individuals and supposedly getting a court order to use the pictures and data.
What you need to understand is that there is no expected privacy about your activity anymore. You are being recorded and your information is being stored in a database. If they want to know who went to a certain location, all they have to do is type in the address.
God not only knows every place you have visited, what shows you watched, what videos you watch, what music you listen to, what you say under your breath. God takes it a step further in that He knows what you were thinking in your mind when you do anything.
God evaluates more than public behavior. He knows hidden actions, motives, intentions, and thoughts—the things a person may successfully conceal from everyone else.
You may be able to put makeup on or dress in a manner that receives the praises of men. God gives little concern about the outside. God knows what is in your heart and most inner thoughts.
At some future date you will have to look Jesus in the eye about your thoughts. Remember that Jeus does not show favoritism and your outward behavior will not save you. You do not need to say out loud what you think about a person or situation. God knows what you were thinking in your mind.
Sobering thoughts for you to ponder.
Remember it is not a religion it is a relationship.
Prayers and Love for all.
