Principle 2: God judges each person impartially according to the light they have.
3. God Judges the Heart (Romans 2:17-29)
Principle 3: A true believer is one who is transformed by Jesus Christ in the heart
Do not love or follow the world ....
1 John 2:16-17 NIV
[16] For everything in the world---the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life---comes not from the Father but from the world. [17] The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
God’s Wrath against Sinful Humanity (Romans 1:18-32)
Aim: Nothing is more important than to respond to the truth about God!
1. God is Real (Rom 1:18-20)
Key theme: Wrath of God
Principle 1: God’s wrath is real and is poured out on humanity because they reject Him.
2. God is scorned (Rom 1:21-23)
Principle 2: those who refuse to worship God have futile thinking & foolish hearts.
3. God gives them over (Rom 1:24-32)
Principle 3: wilful rejection of God leads to self-destruction and eternal death.
Humanity’s Unrighteousness & Need for the Gospel (Romans 1:1-17)
The good news of Jesus Christ, the Hope of the world, is to be shared widely
1. God’s Call to Everyone (Romans 1:1-7)
Principle 1: Jesus Christ rightly calls us to claim us for Himself.
2. God’s plan for His Gospel (Romans 1:8-15)
Principle 2: The Gospel obligates those who received it to share it with the world.
3. God’s Gift of Righteousness (Romans 1:16-17)
Principle 3: Righteousness is a gift from God when we believe in Jesus & follow Him
