Last week we saw that all of us will face God in the end and that all of our secrets will be revealed because God shows no partiality. This week turns squarely toward the most religious of those in the church at Rome. Paul exposes the emptiness of religious practice that misses the heart of God’s Law, over-focused on the letter of the law and missing the spirit of it. This text hits home for those of you who grew up in church or have bought into more legalistic forms of Christianity. It’s a good corrective to remind us that we cannot save ourselves, even with the most careful moralism.
