Three Things Revealed from Romans 1 & 2

The Gospel reveals a righteousness of God (1:16-17).

Heaven reveals the wrath of God (1:18).

Not everyone will investigate the Gospel to understand what is revealed there, but everyone can understand the wrath of God because it is revealed from heaven. Namely, God’s everlasting power and divinity is revealed through God’s creation of the world (1:20).

The third thing revealed is the “righteous judgment of God”. It will be revealed in the “day of wrath”. Heaven reveals God’s wrath but there is a “day of wrath”. On that day will be the revelation of the righteous judgment of God.

Eternal life will be awarded to those who by “patience and well doing seek for glory and honor…” (2:7)

Wrath, indignation, tribulation and anguish awaits those who are “factious and obey not the truth” (2:8)

It’s all revealed. Think about the creation and read about the Gospel.
