As we’ll discover together in this series, the Jews knew Scripture and even condemned the sin of others. But they themselves were under God’s judgment because they had a flawed view of God’s common grace.

Where can we spot God's common grace in our world? The Bible shows us it's everywhere—in the warmth of human connection, the satisfaction of a meal, the golden glow of sunrise, gentle rain refreshing the earth—countless daily gifts we often take for granted. But why such generosity? Because goodness is in God's very nature.

When we fail to properly value God's common grace, we begin to assume we've somehow earned these blessings—that they're owed to us by divine obligation or personal merit. The humbling truth? This grace is entirely undeserved—flowing solely from God's boundless generosity toward His creation.

Romans 2 teaches that all people—those who reject Christ and those who have believed upon Christ—experience the goodness of God in what is called “common grace.” But as you’ve learned so far in the series, God’s common grace must never be treated lightly.
