October 26, 2025 | Romans - A Study on Biblical Hope | Romans 2:1-16

We return to the Courtroom, for Exhibit B in God's Case Against the Human Race, a representative of humanity that is the Good Case, in Romans 2:1-16. How many of us have heard people describe themselves this way: "I'm a good person, I don't hurt anybody. I'm pretty sure I'm going to heaven because I am a good person..." Sadly, this prevalent view is woefully inaccurate. When Jesus was called "Good Teacher," He rightly pointed out, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone." (Mark 10:18). This week's text will make an epic contrast between our double-standard, 'easygoing on ourselves but harsh on others' human judgment, and the unchanging, fair and impartially applied righteous judgment of God. And the main thing that makes God's judgment so right and so different is that it always begins with KINDNESS, for "the kindness of God leads you to repentance." (Rom. 2:4).
