No amount of religious credentials is going to suffice to make things right between us and God. Not family heritage, nor nationality, nor service to others, nor myriad other things people hope in as they consider life after death. The only thing that will count is being clothed in the righteousness of Christ. In today’s passage (Romans 2:6-11), Paul breaks down the hypocrites’ presumption that God is going to go easy on them because of their ancestry as Jews. God shows no partiality.
