Romans
Chapter 1
Paul wants to see them.
He isn't ashamed of the Gospel.
God's wrath is on men for rejecting God.
2
God will judge Jew and Gentile alike, regardless if they "have the law' or not.
Outward, physical things (like circumcision) don't make you righteous.
3
God is just to judge and condemn everyone.
The law shows us our sin, but God saves us by His righteousness apart from the law - we are redeemed by the good of Jesus, which satisfies God's wrath against us. Jew and Gentile are both justified by faith apart from works, so there is no room for boasting.
China is a menace, and Europe doesn't seem to care very much. Macron is the worst; Germany is waking up; Poland sees clearly, having borne the brunt of Russian aggression before.
"Know Your Enemy" - Tabletalk, Oct 2021
God wants us to know the tactics of our adversary, Satan. One is for us to take pride in religious services. Another is to despair and self-deprecate in our spirit. Know your enemy.
