Romans Chapter 2
IN THIS LESSON
What’s the problem with the Jews that Paul discusses in this passage? Hypocrisy. This seems to be a problem that can also affect Christians. Paul makes it clear that Israel failed in its role as the light of the world. He quotes Isaiah 52:5: “Because of you, God’s name is blasphemed among the nations.” Don’t we see similar issues in our own lives as Christians?
