Since the Gentles are lost (Romans 1) and the Jew are lost (Romans 2) - apart from the gospel—and since everyone is one or the other, then all “are under sin” (v. 9). The world is lost because of sin—personal violations of the will of God (vv. 19-21). But God has a propitiation—a way for Him to set aside our sin and be satisfied. The propitiation (a Greek word for “mercy seat”) is Jesus Christ (vv. 24-26). Meditate on the two extremes in this reading—sin and propitiation.
