Mark continued in the study of Romans with an exploration Romans 2:12 - 3:21.

Paul used his lawyer background consisting of a 3-pillar approach of persuasion: ethos, pathos, and logos to provide information to the Greco-Roman culture. His flow of logic included a power statement and logically or methodically based statements that were brief, complete, and concise to show God’s judgment.

Romans 2:12 - 3:21

All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory: without the law or under the law. No hope without God.

We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ and belief in the Gospel or the Good News.

Points for home:

There but for the grace of God go!

The Gospel is the power of God for salvation for those who believe.

Listen to Mark show how Paul used the art and science of persuasion to show how we are saved from God’s judgment. Praise to the Lord Almighty.
