"What shall we conclude then? Are we any better? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin. As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one ...'" — Romans 3:9-10
Thoughts on Today's Verse by Phil Ware
Paul is driving home the point in Romans 3 that none of us can even approximate the perfection and holiness of God. So how do we get there? How do we escape the stranglehold of sin?
God's answer is Jesus!
Jesus must be our answer, too!
Jesus came to ransom us from sin (Mark 10:45), paying the price for our sin even while we were sinners (Romans 5:6-11).
We couldn't earn our way to God by our goodness, so Jesus became our bridge to God.
The glorious truth is this:
God made him [Jesus] who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21).
My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God, I acknowledge before you the sinfulness in my life. Yet by faith, I trust in what Jesus did for me through his death, burial, and resurrection to bring me life and make me holy in your sight.
Please bless and empower me to live as your victorious child because of such amazing grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
