Romans 2:2-5

In this sermon on Romans 2:2–5, Pastor Blaine confronts the danger of self-righteousness. While chapter 1 exposes open rebellion against God, chapter 2 turns to those who judge others yet commit the same sins, showing that hypocrisy and presuming on God's kindness are equally condemning. Paul warns that God's patience and forbearance are not signs of indifference but merciful gifts meant to lead us to repentance. The message emphasizes that everyone is storing up either wrath or eternal life depending on how they respond to God's grace, and that true repentance—both positional at salvation and ongoing in daily life—must mark the believer. Blaine challenges us to fight self-righteousness through confession, repentance, and gratitude, reminding us that revival always begins with a right view of God's holiness and our desperate need for the cross of Christ.
