Romans
As we have started going through the book of Romans we saw in Chapter 1 that God has revealed himself through his creation.
Everyone know that God exist through creation.
It doesnt matter if they claim to be an atheist or some other religion.
His majesty is shown in creation.
In Chapter 2 we see that he is not only revealed in creation but he also uses our conscience to reveal himself.
Now we get to talk about the Jews.

Rom.
2:14-15
Rom. 3
When you talk to a person about God they already have a since of him through these two things.
However, even in the Bible Belt of America it is wrong for us to think that everyone knows about the Jesus and what He did for us.
It is up to the believers in every church to share who Jesus is and what he has done for them.
When we dont do that then we are neglecting our individual calling.
Everyday you can turn on the TV or listen to the radio about how you, the Christian, are supposed to be blessed.
You are supposed to be able to have all of the fun in the world.
Everything that you can attain is because God wants you to be blessed.
The problem is we distort the Word.
When the scriptures talk about the blessings of the believers life they are not talking about how wealthy you are supposed to be.
Did you know that the health and wealth gospel works great in the USA because you have the freedom to do as you please.
But let us look at Iraq.
Many Christians were there but persecution, loss of life and property has driven them out.
North Korea puts people that are believers into work camps to never be heard from again.
Why am I saying this?
Do I believe that we have to be poor to live the Christian life?
NO
But we need a change of heart and mind to better fix our focus on that which is true and Holy.
It is easy as believers to lose focus on what God wants us focused on.
In the USA I see it everywhere.
The focus is on the possession instead of the message of the one who gave us those possessions.
The focus is on our freedom instead of the freedom that others can have.
The Jews had this problem going on in their lives.
Chapters 2 and 3 complete the literary unit started in 1:18.
This section deals with:
1. the lostness of all mankind;
2. God’s judgment on sin;
3. mankind’s need for God’s righteousness through Christ by means of personal faith and repentance.
B. In chapter 2 there are seven principles concerning God’s judgment:
1. verse 2, according to the truth;
2. verse 5, accumulated guilt;
3. verses 6 & 7, according to works;
4. verse 11, no respecter of persons;
5. verse 13, lifestyle;
6. verse 16, the secrets of men’s hearts;
7. verses 17–29, no special national groups.
C.
There is much discussion among commentators about who was being addressed in chapter 2:1–17.
It is obvious that 2:12–29 deals with the Jews.
Verses 1–17 serve the dual purpose of speaking both to moral pagans like Seneca (societal norms) and to the Jewish nation (Mosaic Law).
D. In 1:18–21, Paul asserted that humans can know God through creation.
In 2:14–15, Paul also asserted that all humans have an inner moral conscience given by God.
These two witnesses, creation and conscience, are the basis for God’s condemnation of all mankind, even those who have not been exposed to the OT or the gospel message.
Humans are responsible because they have not lived up to the best light they have had.
