Romans 2:17-23: How Religion Will Send You To Hell

Over the years, I’ve met many people who know the Bible but do not know Christ. They know the Moral Law but do not know the Gospel. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge continues to exposit Romans 2 around the issue of the Law. Legalism, the practice of law-following to make yourself righteous before God, was and still is commonplace among the Jews. But more than that, it is commonplace among people within the church. In this passage of Scripture, Paul demonstrates how spiritual activity does not equal spiritual security. But more than that, he strips the religious people of this world of their false hope and presents them with their only hope of righteousness—Jesus Christ.
