Part 5: The Biggest Sin of All
Romans 2:1-16
1. They
(Romans 2:1) You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
2. They measure others by the
(Romans 2:2) Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
3. They think judging others puts them in a
(Romans 2:3) So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
4. They misinterpret
(Romans 2:4) Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
When Is It Wrong To Judge Others?
Three Principles of God’s Judgement (Romans 2:6-16)
God will judge on the
(Romans 2:16) This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
God will judge people
(Romans 2:2) Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
(Romans 2:11) For God does not show favoritism.

(Romans 2:6) God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
(Romans 2:12-15) All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
(Romans 2:16) This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
(John 3:16-17) For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
(John 5:24) Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
Our only hope: Revelation 20:12-15; John 3:16-17; John 5:24
