God Shows No Favoritism | Romans 2:11 | Episode 62

God shows no favoritism. In Romans 2:11, Paul gives us a simple statement that opens the door to a much larger question: What did God's impartiality mean for Jews and Gentiles living together in the first-century church?In this conversation, we look at Paul's argument in Romans, Israel's calling to be a light to the nations, the relationship between the Law and the gospel, and Paul's desire to win both Jews and Gentiles to Christ without showing partiality. We also consider the Jerusalem Council, Timothy's circumcision, and Paul's words that he became “all things to all people” so that he might save some.Romans 2:11 helps establish the ground beneath Paul's argument: neither Jew nor Gentile could claim a privileged standing before God. God shows no favoritism, and Paul sought to live and preach the gospel with that same concern for both.Read the companion study and join the conversation:https://wakinguptograce.com/062-god-shows-no-partiality-romans-2-11/
