Romans 2—God’s Righteous Judgment

Paul turns to those who trusted in the law and outward traditions, warning that external obedience cannot make anyone righteous before God. Instead of bringing security, relying on rules only leads to judgment because no one keeps them perfectly. True belonging to God, Paul says, comes not from outward signs but from an inward transformation of the heart by the Spirit.
