Sermon title: Justification for Doers, Not Hearers, of the Law
Sermon texts: Jeremiah 31:33-34; Romans 2:12-29

Paul states that salvation does not depend on whether a person is a Jew or non-Jew, but on keeping or disobeying the law. So, we’re back to the basic question: Is Paul teaching salvation by obeying the law, in other words, by doing good works? And how about those who die in their sins without hearing the gospel?
God demands sinlessness, and no one can be sinless. How then can you be saved? By believing in the gospel of Christ, that he is the only Savior and Lord (Romans 3:20). Your salvation is by God’s grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). God has fulfilled his promise that in the new covenant, he will write his law in our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33-34), so by the Spirit, we will be able to obey his commandments (Ezekiel 36:26-27).
