Romans 2:11 - 2:29

RomansSteve Gregg
This message centers on Paul's teachings in Romans 2, emphasizing God's impartiality and the need for obedience to His law, regardless of racial identity. The focus is on dispelling the idea of Jews being inherently superior to Gentiles and clarifying that circumcision is irrelevant to righteousness. Paul also addresses the issue of disunity between Jewish and Gentile Christians, emphasizing the importance of aligning one's conscience with God's standards and living consistently with the teachings of Jesus. The true measure of righteousness is found in a person's heart and their love for God, rather than any outward sign or status.
