Are we really that bad? Aren’t some people better than others? In Romans 3:9-20, the Apostle Paul pulls no punches and places every single person, religious and rebellious, under the same verdict: guilty before a holy God. Quoting from the Old Testament, he shows that sin isn’t just something we do, it’s a condition we live under, affecting our hearts, our words, our paths, and ultimately our reverence for God.
This message confronts our tendency to compare, excuse, and justify ourselves. It reminds us that no one naturally seeks God, no one does good with pure motives, and no one stands righteous by their own effort, so that every mouth may be silenced and every heart prepared for grace.
In this message you’ll learn:
- Why being “better than others” is not the standard
- The difference between sinful actions and a sinful condition
- How our words reveal what rules our hearts
- Why the fear of God frees us from the fear of everything else
- How the law exposes guilt so grace can truly save
