This weekend, we come to the conclusion of a long discussion about the universality of sin. It has been intricate and detailed, but this time the conclusion is the best part!
Paul is nearing the conclusion of his treatise on the universality of sin. And now, he provides an amazing illustration that, once you see it, you won’t forget it! It is masterful.
*Please note the audio for this sermon is unavailable.
We continue our study of ALL HAVE SINNED by looking at Paul’s questions and answers. This section is important for anyone who counts on the wrong things to be saved.
We continue the series on ALL HAVE SINNED by looking at the Jew (or religious person). This is part of Paul’s progression of looking at sinners from “the worst to the least.” (We all know that there’s no such thing, but this is the way the world often thinks.) Paul builds a wonderful, and easy-to-follow case to conclude that ALL of us fall into the same category when it comes to sin.
We will look at just 5 verses, but they are packed with information. It is one of the paragraphs that you’ve got to read multiple times to begin to understand (at least I do). We will be reminded again that God will judge each person for “what they have done” and will do so without playing favorites.
We continue our series on FOR ALL HAVE SINNED and talk about those who live good moral lives (Christian or not) but then judge others for not living up to their standards. It is a common problem in every society. We’ll also learn about the judgment that Christians face.
This weekend we will review what we learned last fall and then study the sin of those outside of the faith. The basic point that Paul makes in this part of Romans is that “when it comes to sin, we’re all in the same boat.”
