Judge and Jury Session 3.2 Slide 14 3.2 Judge and Jury Key Concept
We do not invent morality; we discover morality. Slide 15 3.2 Judge
and Jury Romans 1:20; 2:14-16 Ever since the creation of the world
Gods eternal power and divine nature, invisible though they are,
have been understood and seen through the things he has made. So
they are without excuse. When Gentiles, who do not possess the law,
do instinctively what the law requires, these, though not having
the law, are a law to themselves. Slide 16 3.2 Judge and Jury
Romans 1:20; 2:14-16 They show that what the law requires is
written on their hearts, to which their own conscience also bears
witness; and their conflicting thoughts will accuse or perhaps
excuse them on the day when, according to my gospel, God, through
Jesus Christ, will judge the secret thoughts of all. Slide 17 3.2

his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every
tear from their eyes. Slide 30 3.3 War Revelation 21:3b-5a Death
