Romans 2:1-3 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

0:00
Turn to Luke chapter 18. We'll get to Romans chapter 2 in just a minute. Luke 18. We as human beings have a superiority issue.
0:14
Now, I don't mean that we don't like people in charge of us, bosses, teachers, that kind of stuff. I mean, we think too much of ourselves. We think that we're great at certain things, and we like to, I don't know, share that with others is a kind way of putting it.
0:31
Whether that be sports, basketball, football, our appearance. You can get an app now on your iPhone that tells you grades your ugliness. It's out there, I promise.
0:46
Our income or lack of income, we like to share, think of ourselves more. Our morality, we think that if we live a more superior moral life than others, it gives us a license to judge others.
1:03
And Jesus in Luke 18 taught of this kind of superiority. Look at verse 9 of chapter 18.
1:11
It says,
2:11
See, the Pharisee thought that he was better because he wasn't that guy. I'm not a tax collector. I'm not an adulterer. Which is done by all of us several times a week. Or maybe even several times a day. I'm not that guy. I didn't do that. God must be happy with me.
2:33
See, the Jewish people believed that performing certain moral and religious activity would lead to righteousness.
2:43
Jesus talks about it constantly in the Gospels.
2:47
Some even thought that if they failed in their moral or religious performance, they would forfeit reward here on earth.
2:54
But will still be exempt from God's judgment because they were God's chosen people.
3:02
Think about it. That idea isn't too far off for us today, is it?
3:07
Take away the title Jew and just think on it.
3:10
Morality leading to righteousness.
3:13
Morality leading to righteousness.
3:15
How many people do you know in any religion or non-religion just say to you, I'm just trying to be good.
3:21
I'm just trying to live a good life.
3:24
I'm trying to let my good outweigh the bad.
3:29
Early church father, Justin Martyr, writes about a conversation he has with a Jew named Trifo.
3:37
His book or whatever you would call it back then is called Dialogue with Trifo.
3:43
And he quotes the Jew, Trifo, saying,
3:47
They who are the seed of Abraham, according to the flesh, in any case,
3:53
even if they be sinners and unbelieving and disobedient towards God,
3:58
share in the eternal kingdom.
4:00
This thought that they were righteous no matter what they did or what they didn't do led to this superiority issue.
4:10
Now, the greatest act, the most heinous act of this superiority issue has always been towards people.
4:18
Think back to World War II.
4:20
You had the Nazi Germany against the Jews.
4:23
Millions of Jews killed.
4:24
In Darfur, more recent, Muslim Arab Sudanese killing the Muslim black Sudanese.
4:31
Because nobody can really define why.
4:36
The Jewish people towards the Gentiles in Jesus' time.
4:41
Now, in chapter 1, turn to Romans now.
4:45
In chapter 1, Paul has just taken us through the infirmity, the gutter, the sewer of mankind.
4:52
He's just taken us through this and laid it all out for us.
4:57
This disgusting truth of who and what is in us.
5:07
Paul finishes writing chapter 1.
5:10
Of course, he didn't have chapters or numbers in the Bible.
5:15
He's writing this letter and he finishes.
5:17
And the weight of what he's written just kind of comes over him.
5:21
And he feels like, I need to take a bath.
5:26
Just by writing these words down, I need to take a bath.
5:29
There's just some harsh things in here.
5:33
And he hears an amen.
5:35
He hears somebody say amen.
5:37
And he looks around and he sees nobody.
5:40
And he wonders.
5:41
He again thinks on what he's written.
5:46
He again looks back and says, we are horrible.
5:52
But then again, he hears amen.
5:55
Followed by the words.
5:58
Those Gentiles are disgusting.
6:01
They are dogs.
6:03
No wonder God will judge them.
6:05
No wonder he is wrathful towards them.
6:07
Like the Pharisees towards the tax collector.
6:11
I am not that guy.
6:13
Or the Jew towards the Gentile.
6:15
They are dogs.
6:18
Immediately, Paul picks up his pen.
6:22
And he writes,
6:23
Therefore, you have no excuse, O man.
6:27
Every one of you who judges.
6:30
This is where we sit.
6:31
This is where our feet settle this morning.
6:34
Chapter 2 of Romans.
6:37
Before we dig in.
6:40
Here's my fear this morning.
6:43
I'm fearful that we do not take sin seriously.
6:49
That as we read this list from last week.
6:52
As we go over.
6:54
And Nathan did a wonderful job touching on it.
6:56
But not digging through it.
6:58
Because we would all be dirty.
7:00
If we did that.
7:01
He did a great job.
7:03
But we read through it.
7:07
And we thought.
7:09
Maybe we gave it some introspection.
7:11
Maybe we thought.
7:13
Man, we're pretty bad.
7:14
But in the long run.
7:16
In the reality.
7:17
We thought.
7:17
You know, that stuff is not too bad.
7:21
Some of that is not horrible.
7:24
It's 2011.
7:25
And I guarantee everyone in this room.
7:28
Has seen.
7:28
Something on TV.
7:29
Where a man or a woman.
7:31
Kissed each other.
7:32
Man on man.
7:33
Girl on girl.
7:35
And some of you in here.
7:36
Even fantasize about those things.
7:39
Some of you in here.
7:40
Kill people.
7:41
In a virtual reality.
7:42
For hours.
7:43
And think it has no effect on you.
7:46
When in reality.
7:47
Is making your heart more callous.
7:50
As a hammer does.
7:51
To the inside of a hand.
7:53
In a virtual world.
7:55
TV world.
7:56
Real world.
7:57
All of it has an effect on us.
7:59
And we must be aware.
8:02
And on guard of such things.
8:03
This list that Paul gave us in chapter 1.
8:06
Must penetrate us.
8:07
And we must be saddened.
8:08
And mourned.
8:09
By mourned.
8:10
By acknowledging.
8:11
That this is who we are.
8:13
Without Christ.
8:15
There is plenty to say about this.
8:17
But that is for another sermon.
8:19
Somewhere down the road.
8:20
The next couple sermons.
8:23
That we do in the beginning of chapter 2.
8:26
Are heavy.
8:27
They are heavy.
8:28
Heavy truths.
8:30
They must be talked about.
8:32
But I am fearful.
8:33
That it is just going to be talk.
8:35
And there is no believing.
8:36
There is no action.
8:37
There is no repentance.
8:40
You know.
8:40
Sin.
8:41
And the judgment of God.
8:44
It is not going to bring people in.
8:45
It is not a seeker friendly sermon.
8:48
But it is the truth.
8:50
And we have to make.
8:52
Big.
8:53
Our sins.
8:53
So that we can make bigger.
8:55
Our savior.
8:55
We have to make good.
8:57
And great.
8:57
Our sins.
8:58
We can make greater.
8:59
Of our savior.
9:02
So.
9:02
This morning.
9:04
Let us with humility.
9:06
Sincerity.
9:08
And reverence.
9:09
Read through.
9:10
Romans chapter 2.
9:12
We are just going to read through verse 11.
9:14
Follow along.
9:15
Therefore.
9:18
You have no excuse.
9:19
Oh man.
9:20
Every one of you who judges.
9:23
For in passing judgment on another.
9:25
You condemn yourself.
9:26
Because you.
9:27
The judge.
9:28
Practice.
9:29
The very same things.
9:32
We know that the judgment of God.
9:34
God rightly falls on those who practice.
9:37
Such things.
9:39
Do you suppose.
9:40
Oh man.
9:41
You who judge those who practice such things.
9:43
And yet do them.
9:44
Do them yourself.
9:45
That you will escape.
9:47
The judgment of God.
9:48
Or do you presume.
9:49
On the riches of his kindness.
9:51
And forbearance.
9:52
And patience.
9:53
Not knowing.
9:54
That God's kindness.
9:55
Is meant.
9:56
To lead you.
9:56
To repentance.
9:57
But because of your hard.
10:02
And impenitent heart.
10:03
You are storing up wrath for yourself.
10:06
On the day of wrath.
10:07
When God's righteous judgment.
10:09
Will be revealed.
10:11
He will render to each one.
10:12
According to his works.
10:13
To those who by patience.
10:15
And well doing.
10:16
Seek for glory.
10:17
And honor.
10:17
And immortality.
10:18
He will give eternal life.
10:20
But for those who are self-seeking.
10:22
And do not obey the truth.
10:23
But obey the unrighteousness.
10:25
There will be wrath.
10:27
And fury.
10:28
There will be tribulation.
10:29
And distress.
10:30
For every human being.
10:31
Who does evil.
10:32
The Jew first.
10:34
And also.
10:34
The Greek.
10:36
But glory.
10:37
And honor.
10:38
And peace.
10:39
For everyone.
10:40
Who does good.
10:41
The Jew first.
10:43
And also.
10:44
The Greek.
10:45
For God.
10:46
Shows no.
10:47
Partiality.
10:49
Pray with me.
10:53
Father.
10:54
Father.
10:54
These words are heavy.
10:56
But we know these words are true.
10:59
God.
10:59
I ask that you would speak to us.
11:00
That you would reveal to us.
11:02
Who we are.
11:04
Our need.
11:05
Show us our need for you.
11:08
Show us.
11:09
That though this is us.
11:11
Though this is who we were.
11:13
Some of us.
11:14
We're not that anymore.
11:15
Because of Christ.
11:16
In us.
11:18
Speak to us now.
11:19
Teach us this morning.
11:21
Spirit.
11:22
Spirit.
11:22
Move in our hearts.
11:24
And it's in Jesus name.
11:25
I pray.
11:25
Amen.
11:29
This morning.
11:30
We're only going to go.
11:31
Verse.
11:31
Through verse two.
11:32
Verses one and two.
11:33
This morning.
11:34
And.
11:35
There's three points.
11:36
To this morning.
11:39
The first one.
11:40
Is that sin.
11:41
Breeds.
11:42
Breeds.
11:43
Judgment.
11:44
Sin.
11:45
Breeds.
11:45
Judgment.
11:47
Our verse.
11:48
Verse one.
11:48
First part of verse one.
11:49
Therefore.
11:50
You have no excuse.
11:52
So man.
11:52
Every one of you.
11:54
Who judges.
11:55
Now.
11:56
Hear me.
11:57
I know that.
11:57
That judging.
11:59
Can be.
11:59
And is a sin.
12:01
I'm talking about.
12:02
Capital.
12:02
S.
12:03
Sin.
12:03
When I say that.
12:04
Sin.
12:05
Breeds.
12:05
Judgment.
12:06
Another way to put it.
12:07
Is our nature.
12:08
Or our flesh.
12:09
And I've.
12:10
And I toyed.
12:11
With this idea.
12:12
Of saying.
12:13
Our nature.
12:14
Our flesh.
12:16
But I truly believe.
12:17
That we as.
12:18
We as Christians.
12:20
Scoot around.
12:21
The truth.
12:22
Too often.
12:23
By softening.
12:23
The word.
12:25
So this morning.
12:26
Let's call a spade.
12:27
A spade.
12:28
Sin.
12:29
Breeds.
12:29
Judgment.
12:31
Paul has turned.
12:32
His attention.
12:34
Chapter one.
12:34
Was.
12:34
Was towards.
12:35
The Gentiles.
12:37
Chapter one.
12:38
Was towards us.
12:39
Chapter two.
12:41
Is towards.
12:41
The religious people.
12:42
The Jewish people.
12:44
He says.
12:45
Oh.
12:45
To.
12:46
And you guys.
12:48
Verse one.
12:48
And you guys.
12:49
Brothers.
12:50
Brothers.
12:50
We are just as guilty.
12:52
As the Gentiles.
12:53
He's making this case.
12:55
Through.
12:56
Chapter three.
12:56
Verse 20.
12:57
Of.
12:58
The depravity of man.
12:59
Of.
12:59
There is no.
13:00
How.
13:00
Hope.
13:01
Outside of Christ.
13:02
So he's hitting.
13:03
Every.
13:05
Person.
13:05
Every type.
13:06
Of person.
13:06
And making sure.
13:07
That everyone.
13:08
Is covered.
13:08
In this.
13:10
Letter.
13:10
He's making them aware.
13:14
Of their own sin.
13:15
Therefore.
13:16
Always links.
13:18
What is going to be said.
13:19
With what has been said.
13:20
And it's the case.
13:21
This morning.
13:22
It goes back to verse.
13:23
Eighteen.
13:24
Of chapter one.
13:26
It says.
13:26
For the wrath of God.
13:28
Is revealed.
13:30
From heaven.
13:31
Against.
13:32
All.
13:32
All.
13:33
Ungodliness.
13:34
And unrighteousness.
13:35
Of men.
13:36
Who by their unrighteousness.
13:38
Suppress.
13:39
The truth.
13:41
Chapter one.
13:42
Gentiles.
13:42
We have men.
13:43
Gentiles.
13:44
Chapter two.
13:46
And you.
13:47
Oh man.
13:48
Have.
13:48
Every one of you.
13:49
Who judges.
13:50
Are.
13:50
Without.
13:51
Excuse.
13:53
No.
13:53
The reason.
13:53
How.
13:54
That we know.
13:54
That he's talking.
13:55
To Jewish people.
13:56
Is that this term.
13:57
Oh man.
13:59
Was only spoken.
14:00
Between Jews.
14:01
So.
14:01
I don't know.
14:03
Hey buddy.
14:03
It was a.
14:04
Hey buddy.
14:04
Just for the Jews.
14:05
It was a secret.
14:06
Handshake to him.
14:06
Or something.
14:07
I don't know.
14:08
So.
14:09
When Paul says.
14:10
In verse 17.
14:11
Of chapter two.
14:12
But if you call yourself.
14:13
A Jew.
14:14
And rely.
14:15
On the law.
14:16
And boast in God.
14:17
Verse one.
14:18
Of chapter two.
14:20
Starts.
14:21
That trend.
14:22
Of speaking.
14:22
To the Jewish.
14:23
To the Jewish.
14:23
Religious people.
14:24
The point is.
14:25
No one.
14:26
Is left out.
14:27
No one.
14:28
Is left out.
14:29
This includes.
14:30
Everyone.
14:32
Because according.
14:33
To the Jews.
14:34
Who were the chosen race.
14:36
If you weren't Jewish.
14:37
Then you were Gentile.
14:38
If you weren't Jewish.
14:39
Then you were part of.
14:40
The rest of the people.
14:42
Everyone.
14:42
Is included in this.
14:45
In that.
14:46
Horrible list.
14:47
Of chapter one.
14:47
And now.
14:49
Even if we're not Jewish.
14:50
We still fall.
14:51
Under chapter.
14:52
Two.
14:53
We are all.
14:55
Without.
14:56
Excuse.
14:59
But that.
15:00
Doesn't stop the Jew.
15:02
Or us.
15:03
From judging.
15:04
Does it?
15:06
We know.
15:08
We know the truth.
15:09
And we still.
15:10
Judge.
15:11
Judging.
15:12
Is a byproduct.
15:13
Of.
15:14
Sin.
15:15
Judging.
15:15
Is a.
15:16
Is a.
15:16
Is a byproduct.
15:17
Sin is.
15:17
Sin is like the mom.
15:19
Who gets little Timmy.
15:19
Ready for school.
15:21
For his first day of school.
15:23
She.
15:23
She ties his shoes.
15:24
She.
15:25
She tucks his shirt in.
15:27
She.
15:27
She made him.
15:28
Some superhero breakfast.
15:30
An even.
15:31
Better lunch.
15:32
She.
15:32
She brought.
15:33
Bought him new clothes.
15:34
To put on.
15:37
She has done.
15:38
Everything in her power.
15:39
To make him have a good day.
15:42
See.
15:42
When we.
15:43
When we put on the shoes.
15:44
Of discontentment.
15:45
The shirt.
15:46
Of bitterness.
15:47
We eat the crunchy nuggets.
15:49
Of lust.
15:49
And wear the pants.
15:50
And jacket.
15:51
Of self-righteousness.
15:53
It's no wonder.
15:54
We judge.
15:56
It's no wonder.
15:56
We.
15:57
We think.
15:57
That we're superior.
15:58
To other people.
16:00
Our entire wardrobe.
16:03
And food.
16:04
Has been provided.
16:05
By sin.
16:06
And a byproduct.
16:07
Of.
16:09
Of sin.
16:10
Is.
16:11
Judging.
16:11
When we judge.
16:14
We've.
16:15
We've bought into the lie.
16:16
That sin tells us.
16:18
That.
16:18
Says that.
16:20
It'll make you feel better.
16:21
Emotionally.
16:22
If you just kind of.
16:23
Talk about them.
16:24
And judge them.
16:26
Or.
16:26
It'll take the attention.
16:27
Off of you.
16:28
And your sin.
16:31
Or.
16:32
Yeah.
16:32
You know the rules.
16:33
But.
16:34
But you're okay.
16:35
And they definitely don't follow.
16:36
So.
16:36
It looks.
16:36
You look down on them.
16:39
Or.
16:40
You think you're better than others.
16:42
And you are.
16:42
You're way better than others.
16:45
Turn to Matthew chapter 7.
16:49
Matthew chapter 7.
16:50
In the sermon on the mount.
16:52
Jesus speaks of judging.
16:54
And he speaks of it.
16:56
Because.
16:57
In John chapter 2.
16:58
It says that Jesus knows.
17:00
What's in the heart of man.
17:02
So Jesus knows.
17:03
That this is going to be.
17:04
What's in us.
17:06
And so.
17:07
In chapter 7.
17:08
Of Matthew.
17:09
Starting in verse 1.
17:12
Jesus.
17:13
Teaches.
17:14
On.
17:15
Judging.
17:17
Judge not.
17:17
That you be not judged.
17:19
For with the judgment.
17:21
You pronounce.
17:22
You will be judged.
17:24
And with the measure.
17:25
You use.
17:26
It will be measured.
17:27
To you.
17:29
And this.
17:29
You know.
17:30
This is.
17:30
We've all heard this story.
17:32
Why do you see the speck.
17:33
That is in your brother's eye.
17:34
But do not notice.
17:36
The log.
17:37
That is in your own eye.
17:39
Or how can you say.
17:40
To your brother.
17:41
Let me take the speck.
17:41
Out of your eye.
17:43
When there is the log.
17:44
In your own eye.
17:45
You hypocrite.
17:47
First.
17:48
Take the log.
17:48
Out of your own eye.
17:50
And then you will see.
17:51
Clearly.
17:52
To take the speck.
17:53
Out of your brother's eye.
17:57
Not only.
17:57
Does.
17:58
The sin.
17:58
Breed judgment.
17:59
But sin.
18:01
Also.
18:02
Blinds us.
18:03
From.
18:04
Reality.
18:05
Like.
18:06
Matthew.
18:06
Chapter 7.
18:09
The man.
18:10
Who had the log.
18:10
In his eye.
18:11
Was so blinded.
18:11
By the log.
18:13
That he couldn't tell.
18:14
That he had a log.
18:15
In his eye.
18:16
And he wanted to help.
18:17
Somebody.
18:18
With the speck.
18:18
In their eye.
18:22
The second part.
18:23
Of chapter 1.
18:24
Or verse 1.
18:25
In chapter 2.
18:25
Of Romans.
18:27
Says.
18:27
For in passing judgment.
18:29
On another.
18:31
You condemn.
18:32
Yourself.
18:34
Because you.
18:34
The judge.
18:36
Practice.
18:37
The very.
18:38
Same.
18:39
Things.
18:41
Now.
18:41
If it hasn't already.
18:42
Started.
18:42
Kind of.
18:43
Hurt.
18:44
Because.
18:44
This sermon.
18:45
Prep.
18:46
Hurt me.
18:47
I'll just be honest.
18:48
This is where it's really.
18:49
Going to start hurting.
18:51
The reality is.
18:52
Is that.
18:53
Whatever we judge.
18:55
And whatever the Jewish.
18:56
Religious people.
18:57
Were judging.
18:57
Against the Gentiles.
18:59
They were doing.
19:00
The exact.
19:01
Same.
19:02
Thing.
19:05
The very.
19:06
Same.
19:06
Thing.
19:08
We do them.
19:09
And then.
19:09
And we can't see.
19:10
That we do it.
19:12
We.
19:13
You know.
19:14
I've never had.
19:15
I've never worshipped.
19:15
An idol.
19:18
Sure.
19:18
You have.
19:19
Sure.
19:19
I have.
19:20
But.
19:21
I'm quick.
19:21
To judge somebody.
19:22
Who's worshipping.
19:22
A golden calf.
19:23
When I'm.
19:24
Worshipping.
19:24
My.
19:24
Car.
19:25
Or.
19:26
I'm worshipping.
19:27
The money.
19:27
That I have.
19:28
How dare.
19:29
They.
19:29

A.

Golden.

A minute.

I know.
35:31
We don't.
35:32
We hardly ever do this.
35:33

Some of you might.
35:39
Might.
35:39

Christian.
35:46
But.
35:47
Man.
35:47
I've.
35:48
Really.
35:48
Been.
35:48
Judgementally.
35:49
You.
35:49
Really.
35:49
Nailed it.
35:49
On.
35:49
The.
35:50
Head.
35:51
Or.
35:52
Or.
35:52
Or.
35:52
Sin.
35:53
Has.
35:53
Really.
35:54
Sin.
35:55
Has.
35:55
Blinded.
35:55
Me.
35:56
From.
35:56
The.
35:56
Reality.
35:57
That.
35:57
I.
35:57
Am.
35:57
Doing.
35:58
The.
35:58
Mary.
35:59
Same.
35:59
Things.
36:06
You know.
36:07
You might.
36:07
Be.
36:07
Part of.
36:08
Another group.
36:08
Say.
36:10
Chris.
36:10
I.
36:10
Have.
36:11
No.
36:11
Idea.
36:11
What.
36:11
You.
36:11
Been.
36:11
Talking.
36:12
About.
36:13
But.
36:14
I.
36:14
Do.
36:14
Know.
36:14
I.
36:14
Heard.
36:15
About.
36:15
Christ.
36:18
And.
36:18
Need.
36:19
Him.
36:20
And.
36:20
Clearly.
36:21
See.
36:21
That.
36:21
Fall.
36:21
Under.
36:22
This.
36:22
Judgment.
36:24
there's hope for you
36:28
only in Christ though
36:30
only
36:31
through the blood of the Lamb
36:33
now we finish this time
36:39
and keep your heads bowed
36:40
we finish this time
36:41
and we're going to move into the Lord's Supper
36:43
and as I'm talking
36:44
some of you guys don't need to take the Lord's Supper
36:47
some of you guys
36:53
as 1 Corinthians tells us
36:55
needs to examine ourselves
36:57
examine yourself
36:58
and to see
37:00
the Lord's Supper is a time to worship
37:03
it's a time to celebrate what Christ has done
37:06
but there's some seriousness to it
37:09
don't take it in sin
37:12
don't take it harboring sin
37:15
harboring judgment
37:17
I'm going to pray
37:22
I'm going to pray for all you guys
37:24
and we're going to end
37:26
if
37:28
if you have been blinded by sin
37:33
know
37:34
that you can be
37:36
forgiven
37:40
that you can be
37:41
strengthened
37:41
to repentance
37:43
and that you are righteous
37:45
in Christ
37:47
if you don't know Christ
37:50
come talk to me
37:52
talk to a few other guys
37:53
in here
37:54
I think if you told anybody
37:56
they would love
37:57
to talk to you about it more
37:58
don't let this day go
38:01
without
38:02
without you
38:03
confessing and repenting
38:07
before a holy God
38:09
let's pray together
38:12
thank you for ending
