ROMANS 2: GOD’S JUDGMENT

v. 2 God will not only judge a person’s actions but also his motivations. He knows the truth about each of us.

v. 4 People mistake God’s mercy and long-suffering for weakness or indifference to their sin and rebellion. God’s goodness, not the threat of judgment and hell, leads a man to repentance.

v. 6 We ask for God’s mercy, not justice, for our sins deserve punishment.

v. 11 God will judge us without regard to our nationality.

v. 12-15 We’ll be judged according to the knowledge that we have. God has given every man a conscience so that he knows good and evil.

v. 17-29 Rituals will not save us if we’re not walking according to God’s will, whether we’re circumcised, baptized, or members of a church. Obedience to God, not rituals, counts for salvation. –Chuck Smith Notes Ch. 2

KEY VERSES:

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. (Romans 2:29)
