Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks Romans 2:17–29, where Paul confronts religious hypocrisy among the Jews in Rome. Though they boast in the law, claim to know God's will, and present themselves as moral guides, Paul warns that their actions betray their claims. When believers condemn sin while committing the same, they dishonor God and cause His name to be blasphemed. Dr. Easley highlights how spiritual privilege—like bearing the name "Jew," possessing the law, or having the sign of circumcision—does not excuse hypocrisy. Instead, it demands authentic obedience. Paul insists that true identity before God is not about outward signs, but about inward transformation—a heart changed by the Spirit, not the letter of the law. The same is true for Christians today. It's not enough to appear religious; God desires inward change. Dr. Easley reminds us that we are all "consistently inconsistent" in our walks with Christ, and when we fail, we must acknowledge it, confess it, and seek forgiveness. That kind of humility has a profound impact, even on those far from faith. The goal isn't religious performance—it's genuine heart change through Christ. Takeaways: Spiritual status means nothing without obedience to God's Word. Religious hypocrisy causes God's name to be blasphemed. Outward signs like circumcision are meaningless without inward change. God desires heart-level transformation, not surface-level religion. When Christians live inconsistently, humility and confession build credibility. True obedience is rooted in salvation, not spiritual pride. To read the book of Romans, click here.

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks Romans 2 and explores the inescapable and impartial judgment of God. Beginning with Paul's transition from addressing the sins of the Gentiles in Romans 1 to confronting the Jews in chapter 2, Easley explains how no one is exempt from God's righteous judgment—neither those with the Law nor those without it. All people appeal to some moral standard, which points to a moral Lawgiver. God judges according to truth, and His judgment is always just, never biased. Dr. Easley highlights that self-righteous judgment is condemned—not judgment itself. Paul uses a diatribe to anticipate and respond to objections, showing that both Jews and Gentiles are guilty before God. God's patience and kindness should lead to repentance, not complacency. Ultimately, everyone will stand before the impartial Judge—Jesus Christ—who knows every secret. For believers, Christ becomes both their advocate and substitute, having absorbed God's wrath on the cross. For unbelievers, judgment remains a fearful certainty. Takeaways: God's judgment is inescapable because it is based on absolute truth, not personal or cultural standards. Both Jews and Gentiles are guilty before God—possessing the Law or conscience does not exempt anyone from judgment. Self-righteousness is condemned; judging others while committing the same sins reveals a hardened, unrepentant heart. God's kindness and patience are meant to lead us to repentance, not justify continued rebellion. Every person will be judged impartially by Christ according to their works and the motives behind them. The only true hope in judgment is the advocacy of Jesus Christ, who bore God's wrath so we could receive eternal life. To read the book of Romans, click here.

How do you know if you belong to God or not? How do you know if you are in a relationship with the Lord? One of Paul's purposes in the book of Romans is to teach the answer to these questions.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comRomans 2 Religious people in Rome often judged others while committing similar sins themselves. However, God's judgment is impartial, and all who choose to live in sin will face the day of wrath. Christians must not take God's kindness, tolerance, and patience so lightly that they choose sin while condemning others. Self-righteousness and hypocrisy lead to condemnation, as God judges based on truth rather than outward appearances. Both Jews and Gentiles are accountable to God. The Gentiles, who did not know the Law, were still accountable to their conscience, while the Jews, who possessed the Law, were judged by it. True righteousness arises from an inner transformation evident in sincere faith, not merely from external practices or specific sectarian affiliations. Circumcised hearts, shaped by the Holy Spirit, will draw praise from God. Pride among the religious can be dangerous. It is easy to see ourselves as superior to others, which leads to two critical errors: taking on the role of judging others and conveniently ignoring our own shortcomings. God shows no partiality. This truth keeps us humble, repentant, and focused on our own need for growth. It helps us develop a better attitude toward others, as we all need Jesus and will answer to Him in judgment. Unfortunately, some believers have been pointing out the sins of others while committing similar sins themselves. Everyone, whether Jew or Gentile, must honor Jesus to be saved. We cannot achieve salvation through the law. Therefore, we must be transformed from the heart to faith. Righteous Judge, we know You show no partiality. Neither history nor heritage makes us any more deserving of salvation from You. No one can perfectly keep the law, whether it is the law of conscience or the Law of Moses. Unfortunately, some pretend to do so by judging and labeling others as they overlook their own shortcomings. Please God, break our spirit and reshape us in humility if we are committing these sins. Help us to abandon hypocrisy in every form and to allow Your Holy Spirit to circumcise our hearts so that our praise will come from You. Thought Questions: - Why do some religious people judge others harshly while committing the same sins secretly? How will God respond to that? - If God will judge the secrets of men, and He knows all that you do, how should that deeply impact the way you think and live? - No one will be justified by law-keeping. How is this comforting news to hear? And how can this truth lead us to more faith in Jesus?

When you venture out into the rain, the best companions to keep you dry are an umbrella or a cozy spot to take cover. Similarly, do you realize that you need someone to save you from God's anger that's coming down like rain? Today, Pastor Richard shares some heartfelt insights on why having Jesus in your life is so important. He's the only one who can save you from God's wrath and judgment, guiding you to mend your relationship with your Creator!
In chapter 1, Paul covered natural revelation, that is, the concept that everyone begins with an understanding that God exists because the natural world reveals it to men. Men suppress this truth in unrighteousness, and are guilty of any number of sins. Even though such is the case, Paul tells that church that they ought not concern themselves with casting judgment as much as they ought to concern themselves with faithfulness to God, especially in those cases where the accuser is guilty of the same sins whereby he finds fault in another person. Obedience to the Law means little if the person in question is not set apart for the Lord. It is not the outward sign of circumcision which is important, but the inward sign of s circumcised heart. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Cecil Maranville discusses Romans 2:5-9—“But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who ‘will render to each one according to his deeds': eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek.”

This week, Pastor Jason continued with our new summer series on the book of Romans. During this series we will study every chapter and learn to understand what Paul's message was to the church. Thank you for joining us!
A Matter of the HeartThe Jews believed that judgment was for everyone but themselves. Paul confronts this mindset by emphasizing that a true Jew is one inwardly. In the same way, Christianity—or our religion—does not save us on its own. It is imperative that Christians cultivate a genuine heart relationship with God, as hypocrisy gives the non-religious world reason to blaspheme.
Sermon by John Vandervelde from Romans 2:17-29
The standard of heaven is perfection, but religion cannot make us perfect. Furthermore, God does not show favoritism to the religious. Only through Christ can we meet His holy requirements.

The Value of HumilityTo judge others is to acknowledge that we know what sin is, yet often times we sin against the light that we have been shown. Patient continuance in faith leads to immortality, but obeying unrighteousness leads to God's wrath.
