Do you think you're better?
Further along in Romans 2,
God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
Sounds pretty straightforward to me.
A little further on:
There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism.
Christians, News, Muslims, Hindus, and lesser known faiths all face the same fate in the end. Don't think that your religious affiliation protects you. What protects you is doing good.
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
Even if you've studied the Bible for 50 years you don't have the divine right of judgement. And a person who does not judge can be more righteous even if they've never read the Bible.
Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.
When you listen to your conscience and do the right thing, it makes you righteous in God's eyes. If you ever question yourself and stress over moral implications, you're on the right path.
More coming soon.
