Pastor Brent continues in “The Glorious Gospel,” our year-long sermon series in the Book of Romans. Ch. 2 continues unfolding the bad news—and the good news—of the judgment of God. After Pastor Brent sets up this passage with v. 5, we see “Criteria for Judgment” (vv. 6 -11); “Conditions for Judgment” (vv. 12-15); and “Cure for Judgment” (v. 16). God is just in His judgment because all people are culpable for knowing right and wrong. For those in Christ Jesus, we rest in the truth that the criteria for judgment has been met and the conditions have been satisfied! Believers’ names are written in the Book of Life, and Judgment Day for Christians is good news, as we’ll be vindicated in Christ!
