Please read and consider the above image clips before reading our scripture of the day! JESUS is OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS... THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD...
Romans 3:9-20
No One
Is Righteous!
9 “What shall we conclude then? Do we
have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that
Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.
10 As it is written:
·
‘There
is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks GOD.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.’
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks GOD.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.’
·
13 ‘Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.’
their tongues practice deceit.’
·
‘The
poison of vipers is on their lips.’
·
14 ‘Their mouths are full of cursing
and bitterness.’
·
15 ‘Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.’
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.’
·
18 ‘There is no fear of GOD before their
eyes.’
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who
are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole
world held accountable to GOD.
20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in GOD’s sight by the
works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.”
