Journal Prompt: We all know ‘good people’ who are not believers. How could you use Romans 2 to evangelize to them?

Answers:

1 Kings 9:  The Lord promised to consecrate the Temple that Solomon built ‘My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.’  And “you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.”

The catch was that Solomon was to walk in the ways of the Lord, follow His commandments and remain faithful.

1 Kings 10: The Queen of Sheba came because she had heard of Solomon’s great wisdom.  She brought him 120 talents^[f] of gold, and a very great quantity of spices and precious stones.  He gave her “all that she desired, whatever she asked: (v. 13) 

Job 6:  Job hoped God would relieve him of his misery and take his life.

Romans 2:  We get eternal life “by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality.” “glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good” (v. 6-10)
