Romans 1:8-2:16

Romans 1:18–2:16 takes an unflinching look at the reality of human sin and God’s righteous judgment, challenging readers to confront the truth about their hearts. Paul begins by revealing how humanity has turned away from God, choosing idolatry and immorality over His glory.

Paul then reminds us that no one escapes God’s judgment—not the openly rebellious nor the morally self-righteous—because all are accountable to the Creator.

Yet, even in this sobering message, Paul points to God’s fairness and patience, showing that His judgment is rooted in truth and His kindness leads to repentance.

Studying this passage will help you grasp the depth of human brokenness and the urgency of the gospel, inviting you to examine your own heart and rely on God’s mercy.
