Romans 3 - Are You Righteous On Your Own Without Jesus?
In light of the controversy in the Roman church, what’s the advantage in being Jewish? The Jewish people were entrusted with the words of God through which we are all made aware of our sin and our need for God! Paul emphasizes that both Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin and stand guilty before God. Paul quotes several Old Testament passages to emphasize the universality of human sinfulness, declaring that "there is no one righteous, not even one." The human heart is so broken we all need God. But the good news is that because of Jesus’ death on the cross, He became the sacrifice of atonement so that all people may be made right before God. #newtestament #acts #jesus #outreach #faith #spirituality #christianity #mission #bless #earlychurch
