  2. 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” -Romans 2:5,6

  3. 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. -Romans 2:7,8

  4. 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11 For God does not show favoritism. -Romans 2.9,10, 11

  5. “God will judge every person on the same basis—by works, not by religious heritage or national identity” • –Romans Commentator

  6. 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. Romans 2.12, 13

  7. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) Romans 2.14, 15

  8. The moral law (internal)--Gentiles • Biblical law (external)--Jews

  9. 1. There is a universal Moral Law. • 2. If there is a universal Moral Law, there is a Moral Law-giver. • 3. If there is a Moral Law-giver, it must be something beyond the universe. • 4. Therefore, there is something beyond the universe. • -CS Lewis

  10. "But the most remarkable thing is this. whenever you find a man who says he does not believe in a real right and Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later. • He may break his promise to you, but if you try breaking your promise to him he will be complaining 'It's not fair' before you can say Jack Robinson.

  11. A nation may say treaties do not matter, but then, next minute, they spoil their case by saying that the particular treaty they want to break was an unfair one. But if treaties do not matter, and if there is no such thing as Right and Wrong--in other words, if there is no Law of Nature--what is the difference between a fair treaty and an unfair one? • Have they not let the cat out of the bag and shown that, whatever they say, they really know the Law of Nature just like anyone else?“ • –CS Lewis “Mere Christianity”

  12. If morality is truly subjective, then there can be no progression in morality

  13. 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. Romans 2.16
