God Judges Everyone, Without Favoritism

in
 

Romans 2:6-11

6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. 11 For God shows no partiality.

 
 

Judgment Day is for everyone, and no one avoids it. Paul here lays out the basic way that God’s judgment will work:

People who do the right thing will receive eternal life;
People who do the wrong thing will face God’s wrath.
The Jews will be judged first, and then the Gentiles.

Both Jews and Gentiles will be judged, “For God shows no partiality,” i.e., God judges everyone, without favoritism.

Paul will go on to show that, in fact, everyone will need to be saved because no one is actually able to keep God’s law.

The Good News? Jesus came to save everyone who believes in His name.
