The Need for Salvation
Romans Chapters 2 and 3

In chapters two and three (as far as verse 20) Paul is addressing various themes and problems.  First he addresses the problem of the self-righteousness of the Jews.  He also addresses the Jewish concept of the superiority of the Mosaic Law and then he seeks to place that law in the eternal context of God’s justice.  Paul is also exploring the theme of perfect justice.  These three themes (self-righteousness, God’s law and God’s justice) are intertwined in these two chapters and so it may be helpful to attempt to separate them in this review.  I divide them accordingly.
