This is from Dr. Gaffin’s 1995 “Lectures on Romans”:
“Paul is describing [in Romans 2:6-16] the final, eschatological judgment as it will take place to all people, Jew and Gentile, believer and non, and it decides ultimate outcomes for all humanity. Life and death situation is in view. Further, this ultimate judgment has as its standard ‘good works.’ The doing of the law will ‘do it’ for believer and non-believer. The positive outcome is explicitly justification. Eternal life depends on and follows from a future justification based upon works and the law.”
~Dr. Richard B. Gaffin, Jr., of Westminster Theological Seminary, on salvation, justification, and works.
