In last week’s sermon on Romans 3:25-26 Phil referenced The Great Exchange by Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevinton. Here is the quote he read on God being a God of love and a God of justice:

Application Questions from Sunday’s Sermon (Rom 3:9-20)
Posted in Cross, Gospel, Romans, Sanctification, Sermon on February 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last Sunday we looked at Romans 3:9-20 (listen to the sermon), and we used Paul’s words to the Romans to do a quick self-examination of our total depravity. Paul is arguing like a prosecutor for our guilt, all so that we would find ourselves before a holy God speechless in our conviction. This [...]

John Stott’s commentary on Romans (IVP, 1994) is superbly written and wonderfully combines exegetical skill, pastoral wisdom, theological precision, and an evangelistic burden. His comments on Romans 2:12-16 where Paul speaks of the law that Gentiles know “by nature” is an example:
