Today on The Daily Nugget, Mike unpacks Romans 2:12-16, where Paul reveals that all people are guilty before God—whether they have the law or not.

This passage reminds us that no one is without excuse and points us to our desperate need for God’s grace.

Mike ultimately lands on the beautiful truth that Jesus alone is obedient, securing God’s blessing for us, His people. This is the heart of the gospel—our hope is not in our own righteousness, but in Christ’s perfect righteousness given to us.

Using Romans 2:1-3, we learn that when we judge others, we must remember that we, too, are sinners in need of God’s grace. While we are called to help one another grow, we must do so with humility, recognizing that God’s judgment is based on truth, not our own perfection.
