No Respect of Persons With God

In this sermon from Romans 2:7-11, Pastor Byron Chesney emphasizes God's absolute impartiality in judgment. Paul contrasts two groups: those who persist in obedience, seeking eternal things—and those who reject truth and pursue unrighteousness. Eternal life is promised to the faithful, not because of works, but as the fruit of true salvation. Conversely, judgment and wrath await those who do evil—Jew or Gentile alike. Paul dismantles any reliance on religious heritage, moral status, or social standing, showing that God doesn’t play favorites. Each person stands individually accountable before a holy God. The message is clear: salvation is not earned or inherited—it comes only through personal faith in Jesus Christ.
