Romans 2 · Grade 3
God's Kindness Leads Us Back
Read the Story
Paul says that when we judge others for doing wrong, but do the same things, we are not being fair. We all need God's help.
Paul asks, do you look down on God's goodness and patience? He says the goodness of God leads you to repentance. Repentance means turning away from wrong and back to God.
God will give eternal life to those who keep doing good and seek glory and honor from him. "For there is no partiality with God." He treats all people fairly.
Some people did not have God's written law. But they still knew right from wrong in their hearts. Paul says what matters most is a heart that belongs to God. Praise from God is better than praise from people.
