Andrew Baker | Romans 3:9-18, 22b-25; 1:18-32; 2:1,17-24; 3:19-20 — Jew, Gentile, religious, secular; the great human dilemma affects us all: no matter how far we unchain our desire, it cannot bring true freedom. To the Romans and to us today, Paul’s message should hit like a ton of bricks. But, only by accepting that we are all equally broken, sinful, and depraved, can we receive the freeing grace that Jesus Christ freely gives.
