GENTILES SHINE—LAW’S A SHADOW

 

Paul flips it—Gentiles, no law, still shine right. Rom 2:14-15 hits hard—physis—essence. God’s law’s not inked on scrolls—it’s etched in hearts. Conscience steers, not rituals. Jews clung to rules, but Paul shut it down—deeds tip the scale, not creeds. Same for Christians—labels fade, actions blaze. Seal 3 sings—heaven’s not a club pass—it’s how you walk. Jesus seals it, Matt 25:40—elachiston—“not your tag—it’s your life’s talk.”

Glossary:

• Physis (φύσις): Greek “essence”—innate rightness, no law’s cage.

• ​Elachiston (ἐλαχίστων): Greek “least”—Jesus’ metric for love’s reach.
