       Remember? He said, “for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek” (ESV). This is Paul’s picture, God’s picture, of the unbeliever—the one who still has yet to place his or her faith in Christ. This is what anybody is before Christ, indeed, what we were before we came into relationship with Christ. What are the characteristics of the one who doesn’t have peace with God? Notice, the person is self-seeking and does not obey the truth. That’s Paul’s definition of evil in verse 8 of Romans chapter 2: self-seeking and does not obey the truth. What does it mean to be self-seeking? Well, a person who is self-seeking is a person who fails to obey both the first and second greatest commandments. You know what they are.
