#15: Romans, Part 5 (Romans 2:1-16)
Episode description
In this episode, Matt takes listeners through the first section of Romans 2 (vv. 1-16). This episode covers a lot of ground, tackling topics such as the relationship between good works and the final judgment, as well as addressing larger questions about the relationship between "grace" and "faithfulness." Specifically, this show focuses in on Paul's enigmatic statement that "it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified" (2:13). What does Paul mean by doing the law in this verse? And, furthermore, how does this statement align with Paul's later claim that "by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight" (3:20)? In this episode, all these questions (and more) are discussed and analyzed.
