       And again, Paul re-emphasized that no person is righteous before God, not the Jew or the Gentile. After Paul had gone through all that, showing people’s sinfulness versus God’s righteousness, he then spent the second half of chapter three telling us how in fact humans can become righteous like God is righteous. And how do they become righteous? Well, we learn it is by faith—people become righteous through placing their faith in Jesus Christ. Since Christ came to the earth, died for our sins, and was raised to life again, anyone can place their faith in his accomplishment and have righteousness, perfection, counted to them. Paul pointed out that Abraham was justified in front of God by his faith, and that David also believed the same thing. And Paul showed us that anyone can have the same righteousness that Abraham and David had, by believing through faith for justification from their sins before God.

       He has talked about the total depravity of mankind, and how both Jews and Gentiles can be saved from their sins through Jesus Christ. In the midst of all of this Paul has followed a cleverly devised series of arguments that has led us up to our text today. First, Paul explained that people are not righteous, and he listed a whole series of sins to demonstrate that, with the finality of that being the sin of homosexuality. He said that sin showed the total depravity of men and women. Then he argued on behalf of God, demonstrating that God is in fact righteous in his judgment against sin, that he is the holy God. Next he talked about the Jewish man’s relationship with sin and the Law of Moses versus the Gentiles relationship with sin. He spoke of how even though God’s chosen people, the Israelites, were not righteous, God still remained faithful to them. And again, Paul re-emphasized that no person is righteous before God, not the Jew or the Gentile.

       Now we come in our study of the Book of Romans into the most beloved parts by Christians. Chapters 5 through 8 are undoubtedly the most famous chapters, and they also contain some of the most famous doctrine of our faith. To understate it, there is a lot going on here in these chapters. I know I have spent a lot of time in these chapters in my personal studies, and I’m sure you have too. Up and to this point, Paul has been making his defense of the Christian faith, and primarily with his Jewish brothers and sisters in mind. Paul was a Jew, and he based his arguments for Jesus Christ by using their point of view, by pondering the things from the Old Testament that he made his case from. Nevertheless, Paul also has talked a great deal about Gentiles, those to whom God had not originally choose, but those who came after the Jews rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ. He has talked about the total depravity of mankind, and how both Jews and Gentiles can be saved from their sins through Jesus Christ.

       Christians aren't just perfect people who have been perfect their wholes lives. Christians are often times people who were severe sinners, who had done vile things in their lives, but who have received God’s forgiveness. God will accept anyone who comes to him. It doesn't matter even if you're part of another religion today, he will accept anyone and everyone who comes to him, turning from their sins to Jesus Christ. If you would like to accept Jesus as your personal Savior and Guide today, and be set free from any possibility of ever entering The Lake of Fire, then just follow my lead in this prayer: God, I am a sinner. I have spent my life going against you, doing things against you. But today I want to accept your free gift of salvation through Jesus. I believe he died for my sins and rose from the dead, and that I can have a new life in you today. I give my life over to you, so that you will make me new and be my guide. Please, God, change my life, and make me a better person, like Jesus. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

No Heaven for the Cowards, the Faithless, Etc (TMF:1516)

       Anyone who believes in him, turning from his or her sins, can be saved from all sins against God and gain eternal life. Again, Revelation also tells us, “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8, ESV). Even though The Lake of Fire is a real place, you don't have to go there. No one has to go there. There is no one sin, or series of sins, you could commit that would make God not offer you his salvation. Christians aren't just perfect people who have been perfect their wholes lives. Christians are often times people who were severe sinners, who had done vile things in their lives, but who have received God’s forgiveness. God will accept anyone who comes to him. It doesn't matter even if you're part of another religion today, he will accept anyone and everyone who comes to him, turning from their sins to Jesus Christ.
