God's Wrath On All Mankind For Breaking His Law. The Courtroom Setting

      God's Wrath On All Mankind For Breaking His Law. The Courtroom Setting


Paul states "all flesh" is under God's wrath for breaking his law [Rom 2:19; Gal 3].                                                                                     

In [Rom 1:18-3;19] we have one section. The Gentile world going back to creation (antediluvians).up until Paul's day, telling us all will be judged on their performance in keeping the law [Rom 2:14f]. Not perfect in thought, word and deed, only God's wrath awaited them at the Parousia along with the Jews of [Rom 2]. This going back to creation shows a worldwide judgment on "all sons of disobedience" to disobey the goapel [Rom 1:18,32; 2:4; Eph 4-6; Col 3]                                                           

In [Rom 3:9] we see both Jew and Greek (non-Israelite) by definition. are ALL charged under sin. This is [Rom 3:19] where all appear before God's judgment seat and their mouths are "shut up" as ALL have broken the law [cf. Rom 14; 2 Cor 5:10; Phil 2:5-11]. 

The word "charge" in [Rom 3:9] is a strong judicial (judgment) term where true charges are brought against someone in law. BUT. Jesus Christ was "condemned" in the flesh [Rom 8:1,3; 33-34 cf. Gal 3:10-14]. Jesus is our "substitute" Penal Substitutionary Atonement. Taken God's wrath in our stead for breaking his law as becoming a "propitiation" [Rom 3:25; 1 Jn 2:1]

And also kept the law perfectly in the place for mankind [Rom 8:4] meaning that Jesus died in my place doesn't mean I am just "innocent" before God, but because of Christ's "active obedience" in keeping the law is also imputed (credited to our account, so when God looks at us we are not only just innocent but accepted as perfectly righteous. Justify (dikaoo)""to forgive one's sins, declare, accepted as  righteous.' God doesn't see person as a filthy sinner anymore when they receive the "free gift" [Rom 3:34; 5:12-21] but perfectly righteous as if we kept the law perfectly in thought word and deed.
