Continuing in Romans, God’s judgement didn’t lead man to God. Now He offers goodness and longsuffering, yet man still doesn’t come to God. So God tells us that He will reward every man according to his works. The He turns His sights on the Jews. These people had the truth and still lived in disobedience.

Why does mankind need salvation to begin with? Romans one deals with this. Because of mankind’s refusal to accept, acknowledge and be thankful to God, he gave them body, soul and spirit.
