7. 26 Therefore God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women
exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another, men with men committing
what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty that their
error.
1 THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, man, whoever you are, because you
condemn yourself in whatever you judge another; for you who judge
practice the same.

Prof.CelsoNapoleon

10. INTRODUCTION
In today's lesson we will have the
opportunity to understand that sin, in
its universality, he reached the
Gentiles, the Jews and the entire
human race. All were under the
merciless yoke of sin. The need for a
universal salvation in the person of
our Lord Jesus Christ is a very clear
theme in the Apostle Paul's argument
in Romans 1:18 to 3:20.
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
10

11. INTRODUCTION
Paul tells us in Romans that both
pagans, who were in the darkness of
sin, the Jews, who were proud to
possess the divine law given to
Moses at Sinai, are under the
dominion of sin. We will see in this
lesson that only the revelation of the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus
is enough to save both Jews and
Gentiles.

12. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 1. Rejection
12
In opening his argument in Romans
1.18-32, the apostle has in mind the
sad situation in which it is the gentile
world. This state of insensibility
against the reality of spiritual things
was provided by the ignorance in
which they lived. The the sin had cast
away from God.
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

13. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 1. Rejection
13
The farther away from the Creator,
more sin manifests its tentacles and
strength gains. This attitude of
rebellion against God culminates in
idolatry, or puts the creature rather
than the Creator. The man with his
passions and desires, not God,
becomes the center of existence:
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

14. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 1. Rejection
14
"And they changed the glory of
the immortal God for images
resembling mortal man and birds
and four-footed animals and
creeping things" (Romans 1:23).
Spiritual ignorance leads to
religious idolatry.
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

15. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 2. The revelation
15
If the world is in darkness, God
can not be blamed for this. This is
the argument of Paul to the
Romans. God always revealed to
men throughout history. Here it is
evident that the Lord has made
known through the created things
(Romans 1:20).
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

16. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 2. The revelation
16
This natural revelation, also called the
biblical theology of "general
revelation", it is a witness against the
lack of creature sensitivity before his
Creator. Though man can not know
God perfectly through natural or
general revelation,
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

17. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 2. The revelation
17
knowledge that is only
possible through the special
revelation of God, Jesus Christ,
but he should feel attracted to
spiritual reality through the
created things (Romans 1:21).
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

18. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 3. Punishment
18
Verses 22 to 32 of the first chapter of
Romans shows the consequences of
sin in the lives of men. They had the
opportunity to glorify God, but they
did not (Romans 1:21), and now reap
the fruits of this evil stubbornness.
The phrase "God gave them" no
sense of causality,
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

19. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES
(Romans 1.18-32) 3. Punishment
19
which shows that God is not
responsible for this human
obstinacy. He only allowed men as a
result of their own actions and
choices, they may walk in their own
ways. However, they need to know
they will be held accountable for it.
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

20. I - THE NEED OF SALVATION OF GENTILES

And indeed they were. Paul points
out that this approach failed blinded
men, and put them in the folly of
idolatry, who exchanged the Creator
for the creature (Rom 1:23). Then he
took them to the deviation of
sexuality (Rom 1.26,27) and finally
caused them to adopt a range of
moral and social vices (Rom 1.28-32).
Prof.CelsoNapoleon

21. SYNOPSIS OF THE TOPIC (1)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
21
The Gentiles need salvation,
because they were also
affected by the Fall.

22. LEARN MORE
* The community of the covenant of the Old Testament
"Every Jewish boy was circumcised on the eighth day of birth.
So, was united to the community of the covenant of the Old
Testament, to whom God gave his Law. Owning the law,
however, it was expressionless, except if the person kept.
Soon Paul will show that no one can shall perform demands of
their own conscience, the more the higher obligations under
the Law of God. " To learn more read Cuia do Leitor da Bíblia,

23. II - THE SALVATIONOFNECESSITYOF THE
JEWS(Rom 2.1-3.8)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
23
1. The Jews toward
Gentiles
Paul took advantage of diatribe
method in the letter to the Romans,
as this feature enabled him
dialoguing with readers. It is to
imagine that a Jew when read what
Paul said earlier about the gentile
world, stay elated by the harsh tone
adopted in the speech of Paul.

24. Prof.CelsoNapoleon
24
“It was a high honor to have been
chosen from all nations to be
steward of the mysteries of God.”

25. II - THE SALVATIONOFNECESSITYOF THE
JEWS(Rom 2.1-3.8)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
25
1. The Jews toward
Gentiles
The Gentiles, in fact, were in a deplorable
situation before God. However, the
moralists Jews were not better off (2.1- 16).
They also were equally condemnable before
God (Rom 2.1- 3). They condemned the
Gentiles, but practiced similar sins. So they
were deprived of God's grace in the same
way.

26. II - THE SALVATIONOFNECESSITYOF THE
JEWS(Rom 2.1-3.8)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
26
2. The Jews in the law.
Another aspect of the apostle's argument
regarding the Jews is in verses 17-29 of
Chapter 2 of Romans. Paul knew that every
Jew was proud of the Law that they had
been granted in Sinai (Rom 2.17,18). Unlike
the Gentiles who only had natural
revelation, they had also been given the
Law. However, there was an incongruity
between knowing the law and practice it.

27. II - THE SALVATIONOFNECESSITYOF THE
JEWS(Rom 2.1-3.8)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
27
2. The Jews in the law.
Only the knowledge of the letter of the law,
without proper internalization of its rules
and precepts, led Judaism to a sterile and
self-righteous moralism. In this respect, of
no use to know the law and do not live it
(Rom 2.28,29). The Jew had become as
guilty as the Gentile. Unfortunately, it is still
exactly how many Christians act.

28. II - THE SALVATIONOFNECESSITYOF THE
JEWS(Rom 2.1-3.8)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
28
3. The Jews in relation to the
alliance.
The question that every Jew would Paul did
for soon after giving the answer:? "What,
then, the Jew's advantage or what the profit
of circumcision Much in every way, because,
first, the words of God were you entrusted
"(Rom 3.1,2). Even having previously stated
that what really counts is the circumcision
of the heart, the apostle does not deny the
privileges of belonging to the people of God

JEWS(Rom 2.1-3.8)

3. The Jews in relation to the
alliance.
(Israel). This is shown in the privilege that
they had to be the stewards of God's
mysteries. The logion Greek word translated
here as "words of God" means oracle. The
term refers is the revelation of the Law that
God gave to Israel at Sinai. It was a high
honor to have been chosen from all nations
to be steward of the mysteries of God.

30. II - THE SALVATIONOFNECESSITYOF THE
JEWS(Rom 2.1-3.8)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
30
3. The Jews in relation to the
alliance.
However, as rightly observed F. F.
Bruce, this high honor was carrying a
great responsibility. If would prove
unfaithful to their trust in them, your
case would be worse than the nations
which God had not revealed.

31. SYNOPSIS OF THE TOPIC (2)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
31
The Jews, though the
chosen people of God, also
need salvation.

32. SUBSIDY BIBLICAL
"We know that the judgment of God is according to truth"
(Rom 2.2). We can understand that statement? The
judgment of God is established here because of the sins of
paganism and flawed morality of the Jews to condemn the
Gentiles. The issue of conviction of sin is one for everyone.
Once you have sin, anyone incurs the condemnation of God.
Paul declares that the Gentiles have sinned (1.18-32) and the
Jews also have sinned (2.17-3.8). Therefore, since both Jews
and Gentiles have sinned, all lack the righteousness of God
(3.9-20).
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
32

33. SUBSIDY BIBLICAL
The Jew believed that had special privilege, and so could
escape the judgment already known to the Gentiles, but the
reality was that the judgment would be 'in truth'. This
expression 'in truth' means that God's judgment would be as
the fault of each, based on the sins committed by each one.
The Jewish wrongly interpreted mercy, as imagined as an act
of divine tolerance of sin. [...] God showed the Jews his
"kindness, tolerance and patience ', so that they leave the
sin and repent.
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
33

34. SUBSIDY BIBLICAL
But they did not this 'wealth' (2.4) and, therefore, for their
'hardness and impenitên- cia' (lack of repentance), and
negatively judge the divine purpose, stored up for you
'wrath against the day of wrath' (2.5). What is the day of
wrath? It is the day of reckoning. It is the day when the
judging scale of God will weigh our actions and by their
weight, will be judged. It is the day of retribution for sin and
its inevitable punishment " (CABRAL, Elienai. Romanos:
0 Evangelho da Justiça de Deus. 5.ed. Rio de janeiro: CPAD,
2005, pp.39-40).
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
34

35. “Humanity in its natural state,
separated from Christ, therefore,
under the dominion of sin, is
unable to free itself by itself.”
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
35

36. 1. Universality and the yoke of sin
III - THE HUMANITY OF SALVATION
NEED (Romans 3.9-20)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
36
The argument of Paul in Romans 3.9-20
is that both the Gentiles and the Jews
without Christ are under the
condemnation of sin (Rom 3.9). The
human race without Christ is under the
dominion of sin. The Greek hupo
hamartían expression, translated
"under sin," has the following meaning:
the power, under the authority.

37. 1. Universality and the yoke of sin
III - THE HUMANITY OF SALVATION
NEED (Romans 3.9-20)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
37
This same grammatical construction occurs in
Matthew 8.9. In this passage we find the
centurion saying I hupo emautón soldiers
(under me), which in Portuguese is the
meaning of my orders. The idea of Paul is to
show that mankind in its natural state,
separated from Christ, therefore, under the
dominion of sin, is unable to free itself by
itself.

38. 2. Values and behaviors
III - THE HUMANITY OF SALVATION
NEED (Romans 3.9-20)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
38
Two other truths that we can see the
argument of Paul in Romans 3:10 to
18 are related to the character and
conduct. Sin distorted values and
behaviors in society. inverted values
are marks of a fallen humanity. Only
in Christ they can be reoriented.

39. SYNOPSIS OF THE TOPIC (3)
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
39
All, Jews and Gentiles, have
sinned and need the salvation
that can only be found in
Jesus Christ.

40. SUBSIDY BIBLICAL
"There is none righteous, not even one (3.9-18). Paul had
argued that both the Jews and the Gentiles had sinned, and
did not reach the glory of God. Now he proves this
observation citing several Psalms. His Jewish readers would
reject his argument, but hardly reject the verdict of the words
that they know they are God's words.
Whatever the law says to those under the law says, that every
mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty
before God "(3.19,20).
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
40

41. SUBSIDY BIBLICAL
The bupodikos word was used in the legal sense of
'punishable'. The moral law, which expect the Jew and the
gentile good morals, proved to be a source of hope, but the
standard by which was established their failure. Thus, the law
is not road milestone in directing the divine reward, but
mirror that, when used properly, tells us our sins "
(RICHARDS, Lawrence. Comentário Histórico-Cultural do
Novo Testamento. 7.ed. Rio de Janeiro: CPAD, 2012, p. 292).
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
41

42. CONCLUSION
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
42
The universality of sin, that is, that all
men are under the eternal damnation,
is a doctrine clearly demonstrated in
Romans. On the other hand,
universalism, heretical doctrine that all
men, whether they believe in Christ or
not, after all, will be saved, is clearly
rejected that letter.

43. CONCLUSION
Prof.CelsoNapoleon
43
It behooves us, therefore,
knowledgeable of these facts, live this
blessed salvation and share it with
those who do not own it.
