THAT’S RIGHT WE DON’T NEED TO
IMAGINE>>>>
What would the Apostles’ response be? What
would they do? What would they teach to say to resolve the issue?
THE GOSPEL of Course! (Let's try reading the first 3 chapters in context! )
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it
is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first
and also to the Greek. (Don’t forget we
are in this together.)
You
are right, Some people aren’t Godly!
1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For
what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 For his invisible attributes,
namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever
since the creation of the world,7 in the things that have been made.
So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew
God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile
in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
REMEMBER!
You’ve got 3 fingers pointing back at you!
Romans 2:1 Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every
one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself,
because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
2:12 For all who have sinned without the law will also
perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by
the law.
2:28 For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly,
nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But
a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the
Spirit, not by the letter.
3:9 What then? Are we
Jews1
any better off?2 No, not at all. For we have
already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as
it is written:
“None
is righteous, no, not one;
11 no
one understands;
no one seeks for God.
3:23 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus
Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for
all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and
are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus,
3:27 Then what becomes of our boasting? It is ended.
