Giving an account of ourselves

Romans 14:11-12

When we did some good things, it is easy to speak of it. Some people like to brag about their achievements even when others might not ask for it. On the other hand, this could also mean that they are proud of what they did.

  • Every tongue shall confess to God (11)
  • Each of us will give an account of himself to God (12)
