Joe: So what's going on in Romans 2?

Bible Expert: Well, Romans 2 is Paul's letter to the Romans confronting them on their judgmental behavior. Paul starts off by saying that we all have sinned, and that God will judge us based on our actions. He then goes into a discussion of the law and how it is meant to guide our behavior. He also talks about the importance of repentance, and how it is necessary for us to be forgiven for our sins.

Joe: Interesting. So what else does Paul say?

Bible Expert: Paul then goes on to talk about how God will judge us based on our faith, not just our deeds. He explains that the Jews and Gentiles are equal in God's eyes and will be judged accordingly. He also talks about the importance of being merciful and forgiving of others.

Joe: Sounds like Paul was really trying to make a point.

Bible Expert: Absolutely. Paul then goes on to talk about how the Jews had a special relationship with God, but that this doesn't exempt them from judgment. He talks about how God is impartial and will judge us all according to our actions.

Joe: Wow, so Paul was really trying to make sure everyone knew the importance of being good and following the law.

Bible Expert: Yes, he was trying to remind the Romans that God is a just God and that we should all strive to live in accordance with His laws. He ends the chapter by reminding us that the only way to be saved is through faith in Jesus Christ.
