Romans 2:1-29
Today we are going to see the Apostle Paul address the religious, the self-proclaimed moral crowd, in particular the Jewish people in Rome. The last two weeks what he said had implications for all but was especially aimed at the Greeks, the Gentiles.– Paul wants Jews and Gentiles, religious and irreligious, both moral and immoral people, to know we are all SINNERS in need of a SAVIOR.
In the first century there was really no greater divide than that between Jew and Gentile. – The NT tells us the gospel tears down that division and unites both in one body called the church. Both the Jewish people, and the Gentile nations needed a SAVIOR.
In our own day we see our own great division. Religious people many times have a different world view than irreligious people.
