Romans 2 Notes
Key ideas:
- In chapter 1, we focused on those who openly rebel against God's ways.
- In chapter 2, we consider the vanity of the religious who claim to obey God but show by their works that they do not.
- Our lives are a living gospel.
Key questions:
- How have professed believers trusted in their religion instead of Christ?
- In Paul's day
- In the church's development
- Today in the world
- In a Reformed Evangelical context (us)
- We are saved by Christ's merits.
- How, then, can Paul say that God will "render every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality [. They inherit] eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness [. They inherit] indignation, and wrath, tribulation and anguish"?
- What does the living gospel of my life say?
