Rom. ii. 6.

There are two classes of men in the world. One of these seeks sin, the other seeks holiness. One class of persons turns to sin: the other turns from sin. Those who shall finally be found turning to sin shall be turned into hell. While those who turn from sin thereby giving proof of the new birth, love and obey the Lord and shall have a home in heaven. Turning from sin is not in order to be born again or to a home in heaven, but it is an evidence of that change of heart and of that resulting glorious home.

So the passage, who will render to every man according to his deeds etc, is a prophetic declaration of what shall be. As we read, "Who will render to every man according to his deed.” To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory, honor etc, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious and do not obey the truth, indignation and wrath." Rom. ii. 6, 8. M. D. DENMAN.
