Introduction:

Have you ever listened to someone speak and wondered, "Where is this going? What are they really trying to say?" When I first read these opening chapters of Romans, I found myself asking the same question of Paul. His argument is tightly woven, deeply theological, and ultimately leads to an unavoidable conclusion: No one is righteous before God.

In this episode, we dive into Romans 3:9-20, where Paul brings his opening argument to a stunning climax. He has spent the previous chapters demonstrating that all people—whether obviously unrighteous or self-righteous—are under God's judgment. Now, he delivers his final verdict: "No one is righteous, not even one."

Key Takeaways:

Paul’s Three-Step Argument:
The Meaning of Being ‘Under Sin’:
The Law’s True Purpose:
The Hope Beyond Judgment:

Final Thought:

Romans 3 strips away every illusion we have about our own righteousness. It forces us to face the sobering truth that we cannot justify ourselves before God. But as we will soon see, this prepares us for the greatest news of all: the righteousness of God made available through faith in Jesus Christ.

Join us next time as we continue our journey through Romans and explore the hope that follows the judgment.
