Peter Barnes | Romans 2:6-8

SERMON NOTES
GOD’S  JUDGMENT  ACCORDING  TO  WORKS
(Romans 2:6-8)

– ‘Whatever  happens  in  Vegas,  stays  in  Vegas’.  Not  so,  God  judges  all  things.

1.  We  will  be  judged  by  our  works.

– 2:6;  often  neglected  by  evangelicals  who  wonder  how  it  fits  in  with  justification  by  faith

– Matt.12:36;  1 Cor.4:4-5

– Ps.62:12;  Prov.24:12;  Matt.16:26-27;  2 Cor.5:10;  Rev.22:12;  Eccles.12:14;  Jer.17:10

– 1 Cor.3:11-15;  Luke 12:47-48

2.  Eternal  life  is  given  to  those  who  persist  in  doing  good.

– 2:7;  this  is  the  evidence,  not  the  ground,  of  salvation

– seeks  glory,  honour  (John 5:44)  and  immortality  (1 Peter 1:3-4);  1 John 3:2-3

3.  Wrath  is  poured  out  on  the  self-seeking.

– 2:8;  not  annihilation  but  hell

– Heb.3:14
