About this episode

This episode discusses the need for mercy and repentance as highlighted in Romans 2, emphasizing that all people, regardless of their self-righteousness, stand equally in need of God's forgiveness.

Are we quick to judge others while overlooking our own need for mercy?James explains how Paul challenges us in Romans 2 to see that self-righteous comparison only reveals our own guilt and that God’s patience is meant to lead us to repentance. At the foot of the cross all our rankings collapse, because both our actions and our hidden motives are seen and we all stand equally in need of mercy. So let us lay down pride and shame, and come humbly to receive the forgiveness that is freely offered.
