Real Christianity - Romans 2:17-23: How Religion Will Send You To Hell

Romans 2:17-23: How Religion Will Send You To Hell

08/31/22 • 28 min

Real Christianity
Over the years, I’ve met many people who know the Bible but do not know Christ. They know the Moral Law but do not know the Gospel. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge continues to exposit Romans 2 around the issue of the Law. Legalism, the practice of law-following to make yourself righteous before God, was and still is commonplace among the Jews. But more than that, it is commonplace among people within the church. In this passage of Scripture, Paul demonstrates how spiritual activity does not equal spiritual security. But more than that, he strips the religious people of this world of their false hope and presents them with their only hope of righteousness—Jesus Christ.

Romans 2:14-16: The Role Of The Conscience In Salvation

The Bible says that every person has a conscience. But what’s divine the purpose of the conscience? Additionally, is this conscience a form of God’s Law for those who have never heard of God’s Law? Namely, can God rightly judge those who have never heard of His Law by their conscience? Pastor Dale Partridge answers all these questions in this episode of Real Christianity.

Romans 2:25-29: Why Salvation Requires A Changed Heart

Too often we put trust into religious actions to earn us good standing with God. However, this is opposite of what’s taught in Scripture. Only justification through faith in Christ alone can offer us peace with God. In Romans 2:25-29, Paul is preparing his audience for this point. Namely, he is tearing down any and every religious practice that the Jews had placed redemptive hope. His focus in these verses is to strip them of their false understanding of circumcision and show them their need, not for a mark of the flesh, but for a change of the heart.
