Lesson 1978

(Lesson 1978)(04-02-17) Romans 2:12-16

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."

Today's quote explains that the Law of Moses had, and has, no bearing on whether or not one is in compliance with the two "great" commandments or the new law of salvation by grace through faith. Even the natural law of the Gentiles demands that one obey the two "great" commandments.

As these lessons progress through the book of Romans, we will learn why obedience to the Law of Moses has nothing to do with the salvation of one's eternal soul.~
