We're All In The Same Boat
Romans 3:9–20 NASB95
9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; 10 as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one; 11 There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; 12 All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.” 13 “Their throat is an open grave, With their tongues they keep deceiving,” “The poison of asps is under their lips”; 14 “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”; 15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood, 16 Destruction and misery are in their paths, 17 And the path of peace they have not known.” 18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” 19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; 20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
Key Themes:
1. The UNIVERSAL scope and UNGODLY nature of sin. (3:10-12, 18)
2. The PERVASIVENESS of sin. (13-17)
3. The relationship between the LAW and SIN (3:19-20)
“It is the straight edge of the law that shows us how crooked we are.” - JB Phillips
The Big Idea:
Without excuse or EXCEPTION, humanity is guilty of REJECTING God and stands ACCOUNTABLE to Him.
“The principal point … of the law … is to make men not better but worse; that is to say, it sheweth unto them their sin, that by the knowledge thereof they may be humbled, terrified, bruised and broken, and by this means may be driven to seek grace, and so come to that blessed Seed [Christ].” - Martin Luther
Life Questions:
1. Do you take SIN seriously?
2. Are there any PEDESTALS you need to tear down?
For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift? 1 Corinthians 4:7 NLT
3. Are you TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for your sins?
4. Are you ‘DOING TOO MUCH?’ (i.e. pressing)
6 Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Colossians 2:6–7 NASB95
