Romans 2:13-15 – Be doers
Vs 13 – Hearing the law is not enough, you have to obey the
law. James says, “We are not just to
hearers of the law but doers as well.
Obedience is an outgrowth of hearing, believing and trusting God. Paul says when you obey the law you are
declared righteous.
Vs 14 – Paul brings a reality. When gentiles do by nature the things
required by the law they become a law unto themselves. Paul is saying that when a person does by
conscience the requirements of God. The Lord looks at them differently. Paul makes room here for conscience.
Vs 15 – These individuals have shown that they have the
requirements of the law written on their hearts and consciences. This reality bears witness that their
thoughts in stead of accusing them is in fact defending them.
