Do NOT Forget God’s Judgment (1:18; 2:5; 2:16)
The Judgment of God (Wrath of God is revealed) is central… Several weeks ago, we asked: Is God JUST to JUDGE?
This is Also a POWER CLAIM - God has the Power to Know the Mind and Actions of all mankind....
The Gentiles are judged for suppressing the Truth in 1:18-32
NOW we see that SIN apart from the law ends in DEATH (perish); and SIN in the law ends in JUDGMENT BY THE LAW (the soul that sins shall die)
So you might say, Hey, If I don’t hear or know God’s law, He cannot judge me by it… Technically correct, but you are still RUINED/PERISH
Look at our Text again: vv.
12-13 - Now the Jews are Judged because they rely on the law… (Hearers are not justified, but DOERS) - This is the same now, You may hear, but if you do not BELIEVE you will not be justified.
vv.
14-15 This is NARROW - Even the Gentiles who do not have the law can “by nature” (built-in, observable) do what the Law Requires and so are a Law… It is WRITTEN ON THEIR HEARTS
ALERT - New News - JESUS IS HOW GOD JUDGES the Secrets of Mankind (Romans 2:16)
IDENTIFICATION is not INDICATIVE of ETERNAL LIFE (Romans 2:17-24)
Circumcision of the Flesh will Find No Man a Place in Eternity (Romans 2:25-29)
Paul Now begins to mount his case, that Works of the Law cannot justify, because we cannot keep the law perfectly.
Paul then introduces a work of the Spirit where-in the HEART is circumcised
- Notice these who are different seek praise from GOD not from man - Their focus is upward, not inward, They are justified by God, not justified by the Opinion of others (Modern Social Media)
- this is probably a reference to the stony heart being replaced with a softened heart in Ezekiel 11:19
Challenge:
Do you KNOW for Certain that ALL are Judged by Jesus Christ?
Do you KNOW for Certain that a IDENTIFICATION with a Group Does NOT GRANT ETERNAL LIFE? (Jew, Christian family, Church attender/member…)
Do you KNOW for Certain that Seeking the Praise of Others but ignoring God - That is Failing to Believe in Christ - ends in destruction?
Have you allowed GOD’S SPIRIT to replace your hardened, self-centered and stony heart with one that Loves God and Seeks to Show HIS LOVE toward others?
