A Matter of the Heart

In the previous passage the Apostle Paul explained how it is that God will justly judge sinful Gentiles who do not have the law. In this passage Paul turns his attention to God’s judgement of sinful Jews who have the law but do not keep it. The reality of God’s righteous judgment of unrighteous Jews and Gentiles is to lead all of us to the reality of our great need for the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
