Can you Have an Advantage with God. (Romans 3 1-8)

Apr 3, 2025
In a thought-provoking discussion, the speaker addresses feelings of guilt and our instinct to avoid acknowledging it. They dive deep into Romans 3, tackling imaginary objections around religious rituals and their true value. Listeners explore the notion that while having a spiritual heritage offers some advantage, it doesn’t ensure salvation. Intriguingly, they emphasize that sin, even if it highlights God's righteousness, is still inexcusable. The conversation ultimately encourages a shift from self-reliance to faith in Christ for true righteousness.
